The 2025 Conference Planning Committee consists of P&S employees who are on P&S Council. All of the conference committee members have volunteered their time, effort, and energy to coordinate this 13th annual event.
It takes many, many hours of planning to put on an all-day conference for approximately 300 P&S Employees! Particularly one that offers our fellow P&S employees a great opportunity to network with each other and learn new skills to take back to the office.
