2018 Annual Convention Blog Recap

This year’s Annual Convention in Houston, Texas, was an inspired gathering of over 7,000 educators, authors, and exhibitors. With more than 700 sessions, hundreds of author signings, concurrent luncheons, and more, #¥18 offered too much for anyone to expect to do it all.

Thankfully we have wonderful authors and members who have taken the time to share both their convention presentation materials and their #¥18 experiences through their blogs. We hope you’ll take some time over winter break to look through this roundup from the 2018 Annual Convention and learn with us once again.

If you’ve published a post about #¥18 and we missed it, please share it with us on Twitter and we’ll add it to the list!

P. S. We’d be remiss if we didn’t share our recap posts! #¥18: Thursday Recap, Friday Recap, Saturday Recap, and Sunday Recap
