One Week Until Annual Conference!
The 2022 KSRE Annual Conference is coming up next week! It will be a great time to “Connect, Collaborate, Create” just as our conference theme states.
Here is a brief welcome message – this is a home-brew, ad-hoc video as you’ll be able to tell within about 2 seconds :). However, what it lacks in polish I hope comes through in my sincere WELCOME to everyone.

The conference agenda continues to be updated as we get the tiny final details set:

Please note – the Wednesday morning sessions will be livestreamed. And – don’t worry – it’ll be much better quality than my home-brew video above. So, if you cannot join in person please tune in for the Wednesday morning session.
I’d like to thank the committee members again one last time before we are all together:
