THIS is the year to attend. You will learn (steal) best practices from other states, hear the secret sauce from a social media superstar, get usable productivity hacks, find the right words to use in prospect marketing, and…leave with a custom editorial calendar for your state that outlines all of 2025.Oh, and did we mention building relationships with people who literally know what you face and can share files with you, have your creative bucket filled, and learn to make pasta in Manhattan.Your state can't afford to have you miss this.
