IFCA Executive Director Richard Bargas discusses the differences between a conference and a convention and why the IFCA Convention is better. Along with the difference, he shares a few of the features first-time attendees can expect as well as some highlights for this year, along with a few bits of "inside information" (shhh), and some of the extra activities you can plan on attending. For those who have never been to the convention and think that you could never afford to go, Richard gives some ideas that might help you get to the convention next year.
