Over 300 people, from 19 states and 6 countries, gathered in New York City to celebrate the 30th anniversary of SMC on October 14-16th, 2011. We learned from, and were inspired by, one another, as well as by outstanding speakers on every aspect of the SMC journey.
You can purchase DVDs of all the panels and presentations, see photos from the event, and purchase a commemorative key ring below.
