My CF Objective Schedule

May 12, 2014

Tomorrow afternoon I jump on a plane and head to Minneapolis for the CF Objective conference. This year I'm speaking not once but twice! Apparently I'm trying to earn some sort of "overachiever" merit badge. :) Here's my best guess at the sessions I'll be attending while I'm there...
