Our 2008 APDT Conference Blog will help you get ready to canter into historic Louisville, Kentucky, October 15-19 for a fun and memorable experience.  We have a terrific line up of speakers, workshops, social and networking events and of course, the Trade Show.

We'll post information on local attractions and restaurants.  If you have been to Louisville or live near by and have suggestions, please send them on to the Conference office APDT@details2.com.
