I attended the Annual CEC Convention in San Antonio, TX, March 13-16, 2024. The most memorable moments at this CEC Convention include meeting our CEC colleagues in the picturesque setting of the San Antonio Convention Center on the Riverwalk; Early Morning Coffee with our ICEC colleagues on Thursday morning; the opening session during which the audience participated actively; and the many break-out sessions that were packed with new ideas and innovative information. Other memorable events include the Awards Luncheon and the Yes, I Can Awards celebration. The entire event was enhanced by the Convention app that made communication among colleagues so easy.
