"The annual conference is an opportunity to not only learn about new techniques in the field, but is also a valued time spent with peers. Having all of the corporate sponsors and demonstrations of their products all in one place is an efficient and convenient way to learn about everything new that's available in our field. The networking possibilities are endless, and the mentoring sessions have been especially beneficial for me. I am grateful for having had the opportunity to attend last year's workshops, and look forward to attending future APRA conferences."
