Annual Convention, was Mahogany was Wood & Humidity

[Farrell]

I don't even know where to begin to describe the imense amount of knowledge
I have gained (or at least been exposed to!) by attending several Annual PTG
conferences. No where else can this amount and quality of education be had.
It's as simple as that.
