2023

“I learned so much. I met so many talented researchers. It makes a ton of dierence to meet and connect with people in person, so I am so grateful that the conference facilitated that. I also came away with many encouraging ideas about potential research and potential partnerships to carry it out. It really was the best conference I've attended since I fully waded into the school choice movement a decade ago. I am grateful to everybody who did all the hard work of organizing it, and I am grateful to everyone I learned from.”
