Will you be attending ILA in Boston?
Are you a Slicer who plans to attend the ILA 2016 Conference this summer? Beth and I will be attending ILA and we’re planning a meet-up. If you’ll be there, I hope you’ll join us for a Slicer Breakfast on Sunday, July 10th at 8:00 a.m. Please e-mail me at stacey[at]staceyshubitz[dot]com by June 15th to let me know if you would like to join us for breakfast. Once I have a head count, I will email the name and address of the restaurant, which will be within walking distance from the Sheraton Boston, to everyone who has responded.
We hope to see you in July!
