For the agenda, a half day of in-depth workshops and an evening reception on February 20th, 2013 will be followed by a full day of sessions, networking time, and exhibits on the 21st. This year we’re focusing even more than we have in the past on both conversations and action. We know you’re there to make connections and find projects that you can do in your community, and we want to make sure it’s even easier for you to do both.
