  Upcoming November and December (2023) Community Conversation Schedule

  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on November 8, 2023 at 3:13 am

  Hello UAI Members,

   

   

  I hope everyone is enjoying the start of November! After UA Week I was able to take full advantage of Orlando and spend a few extra days at Universal (which if you know how big of a Harry Potter nerd I am … was amazing!).

   

   

  Given the November and December holidays, some of our communities will be meeting during different days/times and I wanted to send you all an update of what’s happening for the end of the year. To learn more about the Community Conversations taking place in November and December (2023), please visit our Events Calendar where we’ve included session descriptions and more info on each of our speakers.
