UPDATE on 9/17/18:
The event organizers posted this on Facebook: “Due to Hurricane Florence, we have decided to postpone our event to October 30, 2018. This was a tough decision to make but with our city being shut down for a week, we felt it was wise to postpone the event to give it the focus you, our speakers, and this conversation deserves! You can get your tickets TODAY using the code “flo” for only $7! Grab a ticket, mark your calendar, and join us on October 30, 2018!”
