Currently 36 states plus Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. “It was great for the team to be in one room and have running commentary during a session. We had a mix of IT and library staff and it was quite helpful to team building.” “We wanted as many of our staff to be able to attend as possible, so we set up in a room and invited everyone to attend. Simple way to have a number of staff participate in conference w/o a three day commitment and travel.”
