It’s hard to believe that ¥’s Annual Convention happened over a month ago—time flies! This year’s Convention in St. Louis, Missouri, was an amazing meeting of over 7,000 educators, authors, and exhibitors. With over 600 sessions, hundreds of author signings, concurrent luncheons, and more, even if you attended #¥17, there’s no way you could have seen and done it all!
It’s a good thing we have wonderful authors and members who have taken the time to share their #¥17 experiences through their blogs. We hope you’ll take some time over winter break to look through this (very long!) blog roundup from the 2017 Annual Convention and learn with us once again.
If you’ve published a blog post about #¥17 and we missed it, please and we’ll add it to the list!
