NEW LOCATION
We're thrilled to announce an all-new venue for our conference: Grand View University in Des Moines.
Grand View graciously opened their facilities to our conference after we received the unexpected news that our previously scheduled venue would not be open in time due to construction materials delivery delays out of their control.
Grand View has ample space for all of our conference programming and lots of free parking. Find easy access directions on our Conference Location & Lodging webpage.
