Each year we come together to extend the community of knowledge builders, to set a course for future developments. Newcomer and veteran knowledge builders view and discuss the work of innovative practitioners, researchers, and engineers from around the world–and share great times. Participants work spans elementary to tertiary education, health care, professional communities and businesses.
