"A gathering of seasoned practitioners sharing best practices and creative solutions to difficult problems. There is much more in-depth participation than typical conferences which are usually too superficial and serve only the lowest common denominator. This is the USP (Unique Selling Proposition), who will continue to rely on the quality and contribution of the attendees."
