Announced Apr. 8, 2026 by Armin No Comments on IH/IF/IP/2026: Summary, Sights, and Sample Content
Here is the breakdown of the 16 sessions of the second In-house In-focus In-person that took place this past March 19 – 20 in Chicago, IL, and which was awesome. (If you are looking at this in an RSS reader head on over to the real thing, too much heavy formatting). This is a very long post with a photo of each speaker, a highlight of their presentation, and some sample slides from their deck, so give it a good time to load. A few other things worth bullet-pointing:
- A lot more photos from the event have been posted in this Flickr album.
- Samples of the program, tote bag, and t-shirt are available for purchase.
- Registration is now open for In-house In-focus In-person In 2027 in Dallas TX, on April 8 – 9 at Winspear Opera House.
