Learn. Interact. Engage.
About the Q&A Series
Learning works best when we participate together. That’s why we created Q&A, a summer series that explores three of the big topics that came out of our Q 2018 conference this past April. We’re inviting you to participate with us as we watch these talks together, interact with the presenters and have opportunities for you to ask your own questions.
Let’s learn together this summer. We hope you’ll join us.
