Capital Ideas: Revolutionary Solutions for Unconventional Times
Washington, D.C., USA and online, May 2 – 4, 2023
Our second Hybrid Conference was a success! We either attended in person or via Webex. We thank our Host, Toni Yancey, Librarian at the Saint Elizabeths Hospital and Washington DC’s Department of Behavioral Health for sharing their comfortable premises and state of the art technology. For those of us on site, we enjoyed our time in Washington DC, a location crammed with much to see and do.
