Although I hadn't heard about LEEF before last month, I enjoyed seeing what they were doing and I'm now planning to make both conferences. This is their 3rd conference and talking the Jennifer, it is a conference based on case studies and practical examples. It is nice that for this year, the conferences are nearby (Harrisburg and Philadelphia) so we can start some overlap with the similar organizations.
