It's back!  AL!VE is pleased to partner again with Better Impact to provide another professional development opportunity.  A hybrid conference means the presenters come to you via live streaming.  You meet locally with your colleagues and interact virtually with the presenters.

Mark your calendar for the week of September 12.  This year's Hybrid Conference will be streamed from the Orlando, Florida area on September 12 Mountain time & September 13 Pacific time zone.  September 14 Central and Eastern.  September 14 - 15 - 16 will be an in person conference.   We will have more information soon - registration will be available to reserve a spot for the Hybrid or sign up for the in person conference held in Orlando!
