SLA has 2 conferences per year, Sunday night through Tuesday mid afternoon each time. The program is one subject with one speaker many times based on a book or specific business approach. Whereas ITA has short subjects that are business improvement topics, this is a deep dive into a specific business topic.
The book club is separate from the conference.
I am not attending this one due to too many activities. I am out a week at the Acumatica conference and then MOTM. I agree the concept of having this directly after MOTM seems good, but the reality is we still have our businesses to run. It would have been better to hold this in March when it normally is.
