There are several regional and national conferences held throughout the country every year. These are a great way to get exposed to a lot of information in a short period of time. There are usually several DGS members attending these conferences: contact us if you are planning to go for the first time and we’ll hook you up with somebody to help you get oriented.
Even if you are unable to attend in person several of these conferences are making some portion of their presentations available online.
