Can’t Get Enough of the “Hottest” Conference of the Year?

It’s one month since the C2ER Annual Conference and LMI Institute Forum. We are still thinking about the great presentations, ideas exchanged, and how fun it was to spend time with so many of you. Here are a few summaries of some of the keynotes from the week. We’d love to keep the conversation going. Head to the C2ER LinkedIn group, use the comments, or tag us on twitter.
