If you've never been to a NALTEA conference, I would say this one is a good one to start with.  The topics are relevant to the tasks and challenges we face every day, as well as the fast-changing regulatory environment that is quickly changing our industry.

I have attended most of the NALTEA conferences held since 2006.  There have been many great presentations, and useful and interesting discussions throughout the years.  But I think I'm looking forward to this one more than any before, because there is so much new information to keep up with.

 I always look forward to seeing the regulars, who attend the conference every year, and who have become friends.  And, I also look forward to meeting new faces in the business, and possibly developing some new friendships.  You can't have too many friends.
