    Everyone, I'm so excited to announce that registration for RAPS Convergence 2023 is now open!

    The Convergence planning committee has been hard at work preparing for this year's conference, and we have so much in store!

    Head to this link to learn more about the conference, including the schedule at a glance, hotel and travel info and much more.

    If you're planning on attending, I'd love to hear about what you're excited for.

    Can't wait to see you in Montreal!

    I'm so glad we have returned to in-person events.  The years that were virtual were definitely lacking something.  It was nice to get back together in Phoenix.

    I am especially excited about going to Montreal, where I have never been before.  I'm hoping to fit in at least a little sight-seeing around all the great presentations at Convergence.

    Hello @ElizabethB

    I am a tentative for RAPS Convergence (it will depends if my proposal gets accepted or not) but if I am going, I would love to show you around Montreal. Even if I don't go, please feel free to msg me and I can give you some recommendations for what to see and eat :-) 

    Cheers

    Hi Ryan,

    I'm looking forward to Convergence 2023 too! Every year I learn something new and make new connections. No matter how many times I attend, there are always new "hot topics" to learn.  See you in Montreal!

    Hello @RyanC

    I am quite excited for the 2023 RAPS Convergence since I submitted a joint proposal (with my Digital Marketing colleague) for a SoMe session and hoping to get accepted (I won't know until April). I haven't been back to RAPS Convergence since Boston in 2013 and looking forward to be in Montreal, my hometown and where my Alma Mater (McGill U) are located. Will it be your first time in Montreal? 

    Cheers

    Jennifer

    I'm looking forward to going to the RAPS Convergence in October in Montreal, Canada as my abstract got accepted to moderate a Solution Circle session.
    Looking forward to meeting everyone.

    Jennifer - Love to hear your recommendations on sightseeing and food!

    @Yoshiko Stowell

    Looking forward to meeting you in-person at RAPS Convergence. My joint proposal on SoMe has been accepted and I am excited to be presenting for the first time at RAPS. I would recommend that you chose a hotel near the event centre (Montreal Palais des Congrès) where you can just walk (lots of hotel to choose from neaby) vs driving or getting Uber/cab/taxi. The metro (subway) is also very reliable. For food/ambiance, I am looking forward to French food options in the Old Port of Montreal historic area.  Members/Execs of RAPS Ontario will also be in attendance so let's keep in touch for a potential meet-up with RAPS San Francisco.

    @Jennifer Ng Ain Kin Congratulations on your abstract. French food sounds delicious! Thank you for your advice on the hotel.

    Let's plan a RAPS Chapter gathering as we get closer to the convergence.
