In 2014, I was fortunate enough to serve as Conference Co-Chair alongside my two esteemed friends, Pamela Kaliski and Javarro Russell. I can’t remember who started it or when it happened, but at some point, we all decided that “our” conference was going to be the biggest and best ever. This is likely a belief to which all co-chairs adhere, but I have never actually conducted a survey. Nevertheless, we looked at every aspect of the way conferences had been organized in the past and continually asked ourselves if that could be improved in either an incremental or revolutionary way. After months of work, more than 400 professional and graduate student members had registered for the conference in October – the highest number we could find on record. It seemed like our efforts had been a success.
