2019 GYA Conference PRE-Planning Survey (5 minutes)

For the 2019 conference, we are planning to change the format completely, focusing on two directions:
1) "Open space" conference formatting to be more discussion based.
2) "Train-the-trainer" focusing on half- and full-day professional trainings to go deeper and bring those lessons back to each organization's office.
