LOBO Landing Speakers and Events List 2021
(This agenda may change and will also be refined with dates and times before the event. Hopefully this will give you an idea of what topics are planned. Additional presentations may be added as members volunteer to give them (hint hint). We are working very hard to confirm topics, titles, and speaker bios. As soon as these are finalized, they will be published here. Thanks for your patience and hope to see you at the Landing. Thank you to all members who have graciously volunteered to spend their time developing presentations for all of us.)
