The frenzy of final preparations for the CWA Summit is palpable. They’re still selling tickets so it’s not too late to attend (even some decent Airbnb’s left). The full schedule has been posted. Exhibitors are polishing their pitches, speakers are wrapping up their presentations, and those with an extra day are weighing where to climb from tons of epic options. We hope to see you there!
