Next Wednesday and Thursday, the Houston version of Carl Howk's PlantSuccess conference will be held in Clear Lake, Texas. The event has been expanded from one to one-and-a-half days, to accommodate a pre-conference session. I am honored to be asked to speak at this session, since nearly all of the speakers at Carl's events are end-user leaders like the other speakers on the list below.
If you are an end user, think about coming down to Clear Lake and spending Wednesday and Thursday at PlantSuccess.
