POSSCON

Time has flown by.  It is suddenly mid-March, there are seven weeks left until graduation and POSSCON is next Thusday!  POSSCON is being held from Wednesday-Friday but I have elected to just go on Thursday.  From what I've read, It sounds like the event is divided between sessions where everyone is attending the same speech as well as some "breakout sessions" where you choose which speaker you want to hear from.  The breakout sessions are divided into four areas of interest - technical,leadership,healthcare,education.  Here is a breakdown of the sessions I will be attending...
