Conferences & Presentations of 2014 in Review

,

Conferences 2013 vs 2014Reviewing the year 2014, I can see that I have truly started improving my life by lowering the number of conferences attended & lowering the number of presentations delivered.

I am also hoping that I have lowered the number of days that I have stayed away from my family.

In total in the 2014 I have attended 14 conferences, 18 user group meetings & made 24 presentations (including 2 precons).

Comparing to 2013, you can see the difference: 24 conferences, 15 user group meetings & 40 presentations.

Here is the complete list:
