"Long-time supporter, first-time attendee!  Small school districts do not always support traveling for PD (school boards are more about politics than people).  I finally said we're just doing it! Absolutely 💯 worth it! See ya in Boston!!"

ANC 2023 Attendee

I thoroughly enjoyed my first Annual Conference.  It was definitely a learning experience.  I appreciated the topics discussed and the allowance of feedback from attendees.  I brought back my food, drink, and software choices as well as ideas to improve my program.  Looking forward to Boston!
