November 3-4 | Dallas-Addison Metro Area, TX
Hello, Colleagues!
You're the FIRST to get this announcement, because you've attend past ALCOP or LCC conferences. Their organizer, Bob Kieserman, has decided not to run those events anymore. But a small group of previous attendees and speakers didn't want them to die. So we decided to reboot and relaunch them.
