F.A.Q.

I Heard Last Year's Event Ran Long. We heard that too, so we've girded our loins, recruited a few less speakers, and will keep a better eye on the clock this time around. 

What about Smith's? But of course. We'll head down the block to the world-famous Smith's of Cohoes for post event merryment and libations. All attendees are invited. That's just what we do.

Questions? Please email event organizer, Doug Bartow
