SBA Autumn Convention 2015

[greengumbo]

Program looks very interesting this year - is there an official program online anywhere ? I recall that James Ellis and Derek M are speaking but cant remember the details.

Thought I would start a thread to see who on here is going ?

I will be attending as usual
All the information is on page 198 and 199 of June's SBA magazine
Not certain if it is on line anywhere yet
