Providing regional professional development for professionals in Northeast South Dakota. The goal of this day is to provide an inclusive event for all community members to enjoy. All people deserve the opportunity to participate in high-quality professional and personal development. With two sessions (day and night) planned, we can make this event highly accessible to all. We hope to create a day that all people who sponsor and attend can take ownership of the event and look to build on the event each year it is held in Watertown, SD.
