It’s just over a week since I arrived home from ILTACON, and only now do I feel prepared to post a write-up. After such a big conference, it always takes a while for the take-aways to percolate and distil down. So many things happen each day at ILTACON and each of them is so noteworthy that if any one of them occurred on a normal workday they would be the highlight of that day.
