I'd love to come back for this... if only I could find ticket prices that would make a short trip worth it.

Edit: This got me thinking about virtual training opportunities. I know some of the usual presenters can't make it this year, and sometimes teams have conflicts. What if NE FIRST started a year-round training program which occasionally offered virtual/webinar training? We could have experts from outside of New England speak more easily, and the training would also be more accessible to people in remote areas of New England or outside of New England. I know other organizations including businesses and non-profits use webinars to conduct virtual training... why can't we?
