What do you value most about your ASB experience?

The people are my favorite thing about this meeting; it always refreshing to have a bunch of folks from different tier schools come together and treat each other with respect and friendliness. This conference is always the most laid back and enjoyable conference I go to each year!."  - ​Member survey response - 2018
