The last conference we attended in-person, before the pandemic hit, was PLA in Nashville in March 2020. It seems fitting that our first face-to-face in-person conference a full two years later is PLA in Portland, Oregon on March 23-25. We’re excited to be back and we’re bringing our Springy finest…
