Atelier du programme d'échange
Nous avons eu la conversation l'année dernière à Detroit au sujet d'un programme d'échange entre les magasins. Continuons en prenant l'organisation des idées de la discussion des dernières années, puis en retirant ce qui fonctionnera et en réduisant la façon dont cela fonctionnera. Nous allons commencer à le transformer en quelque chose qui fonctionnera le mieux pour la communauté en utilisant les processus Design Thinking et Design de service.
Thank you google for the translation.

Bike Ed lessons learned in 2nd grade Physical Ed class
19 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Cleveland (Ohio) Metropolitan School District is two years into implementing a pilot program in seven schools to teach bike skills to beginning cyclists, based on a model begun three years ago by the District of Columbia Public Schools.

Bike Parts for the Rest of Us
18 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.We first gave this workshop at Bike!Bike! Detroit 2016 and Bike!Bike! SE in 2017. We run a small bike shop in St. Paul, MN, and had difficulty accessing wholesale suppliers of essential consumable repair parts, such as tires, tubes, grips, cables, housings, etc. The reason we were denied was that our shop didn't spend enough money. We found other non-profit bike organizations, particularly those that didn't include retail sales in their model, were also denied access to wholesale pricing. We needed a supplier, so we invested a significant chunk of our savings and founded Midway Bicycle Supply.
Our target customers are small, community bike shops and programs that don't need all the latest and greatest parts - they need the basics to keep older bicycles running. In other words, bike parts for the rest of us. No account is too small, and our prices are competitive with the large wholesale distributors. If your program is purchasing parts and supplies from other retail bike shops, or depending on recovering enough materials from scrapped bicycles, you need this workshop.
We will bring a selection of the items we offer, along with instructions on how to get your shop's account opened. Our business philosophy is based on cooperative economics, meaning that we cannot succeed unless you succeed. We also give 10% of all shop income to charity - notably a charity that gives away free food to those who need it, with no questions asked.

Bike Repair Programming in a Junior High/ High School
19 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.This workshop will be an opportunity for participants to share their experiences and questions about school based repair programs. Hugh John Macdonald school has had a bike shop for 8 years. Over the years we have tried programming over the lunch hour, before school, after school and as a high school credit course. Many students have gained problem solving skills and confidence through their participation. As part of the bike repair course students earn bikes they can take home. Some of the challenges we have faced include bike theft, students not being able to ride a bike, and gender imbalance.
Other possible topics for discussion could include : how can student mechanics find employment, how to sell bikes to generate funds to keep the shop running, how to engage the community.

Can a Bike Co-op Age with Grace?
34 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Not to be too real here, but not all co-ops stand the test of time. We face the ongoing challenges of fostering a healthy shop culture, working with a revolving volunteer base, having different structural models of operation (each with their own strengths and flaws), and are always within ever changing cityscapes. We excel and grow. We go through ruts and shrink. But can we adapt and age with grace?
In this workshop, I will open with an overview of the nature of my bike co-op’s current situation and then open up discussion to group troubleshoot. The types of thoughts and questions this can productively focus on are:
- Having a revolving volunteer base means managing the selection biases that it produces. Many excellent people join and then move away. For those who stay in the city, many burn out and leave the co-op while others incorporate long term participation into their lives. Of those long term participants, there is a tendency to depend upon a core and shouldering that responsibility affects people differently. Have you ever spotted a problem on the horizon like this? Did it come to pass, were you able to advert it through intentional policy change, or something else entirely?
- Having foundational principles when first creating a co-op is essential to surviving. But we don’t always get everything right and tradition can be a sticky thing to unpack. Does your co-op have experience making an organizational transition? Maybe you are planning something currently? For example, changing from being entirely volunteer run to paying for some positions. Another example would be going from only community decision making to having a board. What worked and what didn’t?

Caring (and self-care) for the carers
25 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Our work is commendable and satisfying, but also difficult. We remain patient with low wages, angry drivers and social injustice. We hold space for the vulnerable populations we strive to serve. We bike for transportation and work with our hands, which strengthens us. Yet we also suffer aches and pains, especially after a fall or collision. We enter into our activism with open hearts and enthusiasm. But maintaining that drive requires that we care for our bodies and minds.
Caring for ourselves is itself difficult. Few of us have access to private health insurance. Public health care rarely covers mental or paramedical health. Resources like meditation or yoga classes are gentrified and expensive. Even finding the time for self-care can be difficult while leading an activist life. So how can we maintain strong bodies and calm, resilient minds?
This workshop invites participants to share ways of doing so. This may include direct self-care or access to professional care. Self-care may include stretching routines, radical self-care, support groups, and more. Access to care may cover finding carers who will work pro-bono, on a sliding scale, or for barter. We may also discuss ways for our shops to help staff and volunteers to access care. We will be open to any other ideas folks have for keeping us strong and ready to help others.
We will post the results on the Bike Collectives wiki as a community resource.

CBS Volunteer/Donation Model
21 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.This discussion group will explore the possibilities of using the common volunteer/donation business model utilized by Community Bike Shops for starting up other community activist centers supporting other areas of human life. This would be a great discussion group for anyone who's ever said "I wish there was a low-cost place I could go for ____" or "I've always wanted to learn _____ but where can I go for that?" We will offer up our ideas, and respectfully discuss the process one might undertake to establish an organization of that kind.
CBS volunteers are in a position to aid other projects of this nature because of their experience running volunteer/donation organizations and creating safer spaces in which learning can take place between diverse groups. For those passionate not just about bikes and the environment, but about freeing people from the shackles of capitalism, this would be an excellent discussion group.
Examples to be discussed: a clothing/learn-to-sew shop where patrons bring their sewing projects to get advice; a computer/learn-to-nerd shop where the important issues of net neutrality, internet security, website building, using the internet as a tool of activism, and general computer savvy are taught; home repair, auto repair, or even health care spaces, like massage, where registered massage therapists not only provide therapeutic massage, but teach patrons their trade so they can give back and massage others seeking treatments; or physiotherapy/personal training, where you can be supervised and receive advice during exercise and stretching. All run by volunteers and supported by donations!

Creating a Sacred Space
7 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.What community bike shops can teach the Church and the Church and can teach community bike shops. Last spring I took a class at Westmont College called "Globalization and Mission" and my final project focused on the structure of community bike shops, specifically Bici Centro in Santa Barbara, CA, and direct feedback from volunteers through a questionnaire. My findings revealed the depth a community bike shop offers to the individual. And what the church can learn from it's structure. This presentation will also focus on what the Church can teach community bike shops. Focusing on certain themes from the Bible such as mission and community. There will be time for questions and comments at the end.

Cycle Touring
14 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.In this workshop my brother and I would like to share and hear about some things we learned on the different bicycle tours we have been on. We hope to cover some of the most frequently asked questions and dispel common misconceptions about cycle touring. Safety is one of the most important aspects of any outing you take cycle touring is no different. Planning or at the vary least being prepared for the unexpected makes these time less stressful and also not as unexpected. Having said that you wont be able to foresee every event along the way. Accepting that you may have to get crafty in your problem solving will be less stressful that makes a trip more enjoyable it is an adventure after all.
There are many types of tours make it your own whether that ultra ultra light and fast or slow relaxed see the sights. Don’t feel you need the most expensive hi-tech equipment to have an incredible tour.
The Essentials
- A bike (2 wheels, 3 wheels, 1 wheel)
- As much or as little gear as you want/
- LIGHTS AND REFLETVE GEAR!!! I don’t care how much you say you wont ride at night it will happen and just because you can see the car doesn’t mean they see you.
- A date you plan to depart.
I will tell some stories from past tours and I hope that the adeance shares some also and has questions

Cyclo-féminisme: hier et aujourd'hui
35 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Qui aurait cru que les femmes doivent autant à la bicyclette? Cette relation bien spéciale remonte à la fin des années 1800, alors que le mouvement féministe faisait son apparition. Imaginez une époque où les femmes portaient des corsets serrés et de longues robes et où les vélos avaient une roue avant disproportionnée. Comment les deux ont bien pu s'entendre? Malgré tout, les suffragettes en vinrent à aimer le vélo, qui leur offrit une liberté de mouvement jusque là inégalée et... les pantalons. Quoi d'autre? La première partie de cette présentation explorera l'histoire d'amour entre les bicyclettes et le féminisme.
Et aujourd'hui? L'émancipation des femmes est encore un effet secondaire important de la machine à deux roues, comme le prouve le collectif cyclo-féministe montréalais Les dérailleuses. Avec des ateliers de constructions de vélo, des conférences (vELLE-oh!), des zines (Londonderry vol. 1 et vol. 2) et bien plus, Les dérailleuses veulent défier le sexisme qui s’infiltre dans toutes les sphères du monde cycliste. À travers l'expérience de Les dérailleuses, nous discuterons combien le cyclo-féminisme est aujourd'hui encore bien d'actualité.

Decolonization and the Community Bike Shop Movement
11 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.As a movement dedicated to social justice, breaking down barriers, and building inclusive communities full of empowered folks who work together to achieve shared goals, it's important that our work acknowledges, bolsters, and contributes to broader global movements dedicated to decolonization.
From Standing Rock to Burnaby Mountain to Palestine and all over the globe, indigenous communities are coming together with settler allies to demand different systems, power-structures, and ways of life that honour and uphold age-old traditions and customs and connection to the land that have been obscured for far too long.
How can we, as facilitators of spaces in the community bike shop movement, leverage the tools, spaces, and relationships we have and continue to build to contribute to this global decolonization movement? How can we ensure that we are continually decolonizing our spaces, relationships, and practices? How are we ensuring that we are including, honouring, and lifting up indigenous voice in our communities and our work?
This conversation will be facilitated by Sarah Duby FioRito (ie. Sarah Duby Flow), a white jewish settler living in East Vancouver on Unceded Coast Salish Territories. What Sarah brings to the conversation is a commitment to decolonization, constant learning, and experience facilitating group conversations and community bike shops.

Does size really matter?
34 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.This workshop celebrates Worcester Earn A Bike's 16+ year history as a successful organization which has not only been able to thrive, successfully, but also managed to remain small. We have always been volunteer-based and relied entirely on ourselves for funding. Does size really matter? Can you survive... better yet, prosper, while also remaining tiny, with a small budget, and continuing to be volunteer-only based? Yes! We are here to offer our stories of struggle and success to this end. Better yet, it would be great to hear other stories of success regardless of size. One size does not fit all!

Hands-Off Teaching
12 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.In educational DIY spaces, participants learn best when they work through repairs and problems themselves, with their own hands. But because mechanical knowledge is so hands-on, it can be really difficult to impart without being hands-on yourself. How do we help participants fix their bikes, without ending up doing the work ourselves? How do we talk participants through repairs when our own knowledge of those repairs is so based on touch and muscle memory?
This workshop will go through hands-off teaching methods. We'll discuss why they're important, and helpful strategies for effective communication and learning. The workshop will end with a fun hands-on activity to practice our new hands-off teaching skills!

Historia oral de talleres argentinos: el caso Suipacha.
26 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.La historia oral es la manera que usa la gente de todo el mundo para conocer noticias, mitos y fabulosos rumores no escritos que jamás sabremos si son reales. Hay un lugar en el mundo, en Sudamérica, llamado Argentina donde los ‘talleres populares de ciclomecánica’ se están convirtiendo en una práctica más común, creciendo bajo las luces y sombras de las grandes ciudades. Como si fuera un cuento de hadas del tercer mundo, de repente un viejo barrio ferrioviario de Córdoba es el terreno perfecto para que crezca Suipacha, un lugar donde gente de todas las edades, géneros y bicicletas se vuelven devocionales sobre cómo el espíritu bicicletista puede cambiar vidas.
Actualmente Suipacha está renaciendo. Luego de haber sido obligados a abandonar su espacio, la construcción de un nuevo espacio en el barrio se vuelve real con acciones positivas y magia. ¡Enterate más de esta locura!

Involucrar a la comunidad ya las organizaciones en defensa de la infraestructura ciclista
24 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Recientemente en Guadalajara hubo un referéndum para demoler una ciclovía
El colectivo Bicicleta Blanca, representante de 214 ciclistas muertos en GDL del año 2009 a la fecha, se encargó de coordinar a la comunidad, universidades y colectivos ciclistas para que en conjunto y desde distintas trincheras defendiéramos el día del Referéndum la ciclovía.
El resultado fue que ganamos "aplastantemente" la votación con 17,500 votos a favor de la permanencia de la ciclovía y 4,000 votos en contra. Esto en una ciudad que aún no adopta a la bicicleta como medio de transporte.
Hablaremos de:
-¿Cómo involucramos a la comunidad, a los estudiantes y a los grupos ciclistas?
-¿Cómo empoderamos a los habitantes para que se organizaran y defendieran sus derechos?
-¿Qué aprendimos?
-¿Cómo nos afectó personalmente este referéndum?

Making Multi-Year Bike Education part of School Curriculum
32 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Starting in the fall of 2016, Green Action Centre, Manitoba Public Insurance, Bike Winnipeg, and the WRENCH collaborated to pilot the first multi-year Bike Education (named BEST-Bike Education and Skills Training) program that is part of school physical ed curriculum. This is a first of it's kind program for Canada, and is far more than the "playground and pylon" approach that is widely employed in other school bike education programs. This program has students ride in real world conditions on roadways with traffic present, learning proper lane positioning and signalling, eventually graduating to riding multi lane roadways in the upper grades. We will talk about the success and challenges of this program after year 1, the incredible demand for expansion from other divisions and provinces in Canada, and will share our experiences as well as learn from others who have lead similar programs.

Mitihcikêw, We Follow Trails: Indigenous Led Mountain Biking on Turtle Island
8 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Indigenous people have always built trails on the land. When the first settlers came they were amazed by the extensive network of trails that wove through agriculture, communities, and territories. Justin L’Arrivee, a Cree, French, and Scottish Metis cyclist from Winnipeg, explores how indigenous people have used mountain biking to revitalize their traditions of trail building, while also revitalizing their own communities. This workshop will explore the rides Justin has hosted with The WRENCH over the summer and other indigenous programs in Manitoba and across Canada. Come learn about how youth in the Yukon built one of Canada’s best mountain biking destinations on their First Nation, how low-riding can confront colonial borders, and how mountain biking is indigenous sovereignty.

Outreach and Promotion Strategies and Hand Drawn Media!
5 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.When we are making rad stuff happen, we want to make sure that folks in the community around us know about it, otherwise...what's the point?!
If you want to learn some fun and creative outreach and promotion strategies and how to create media in a low-tech and fun way then this workshop is for you!
After covering some general strategies that we've employed in Vancouver for doing outreach such as on street outreach with a cargo-bike, creating a mock bike lane and street treatments at street festivals, building email lists, tabling at events, and strategies for putting up posters and disseminating handbills, stickers, etc, we will then talk about how to create our own hand-drawn media using simple tools such as pens, coloured pencils, scissors, scanners, and photo copiers!
A component of this workshop will be interactive and will include time to draw our own media that can be used as a basis for later communications tools. WOO!
DISCLAIMER: Even if you don't identify as artistic or think you like drawing, you CAN make dope media! FOR REAL! We'll talk about how!

Putting the Profit back in Not-For-Profit (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Start Using Money As A Tool)
32 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Let's glean the best practices of "for profit" business models to help ensure a reliable cash flow for our Alternative Bike Shops (Non-profit, Charity, Collectively run, Worker owned, etc).
In this workshop I hope to share some of my almost 20 years experience in both the "non-profit" and "for-profit" bike Bike shop models and discuss what works and what doesn't work very well in regards to making an Alternative Bike Shop more financially successful.
We will discuss goals, planning, strategy, and business financial basics and how to apply whats best for our own type of Alternative Bike Shop
The workshop will start off with me sharing what I know about the above topic, followed by a round table discussion so that others can briefly share what they found has worked or not worked in regards to financial stability at their own Alternative Bike shop

Resourcfullness with SWAG (Stuff We've All Got)
29 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Many of us came to this work for environmental reasons -- to keep bikes out of the waste stream, get folks out of cars, etc. -- but how much do we take time to do in our day-to-day work to be truly "sustainable"?
Share tips and tricks for repurposing bike parts on scales from large (temporary parking racks for 500 bikes) to modest (a couple of no-weld bike trailer designs will be built) to small (renounce zip ties!). Bring and demonstrate or explain examples of your best practices for re-use of bike parts; case studies of waste-reduction (e.g. what do you do with scrap tires?!); and use of Appropriate Technology (pedal-powered) tools.
Note: other sessions have been proposed for shop infrastructure eco-friendliness, and everything you can do with used innertubes; so the scope of this workshop will focus on things to make & do with scrap bike parts.
If you have stuff to make please request to co-facilitate and submit a quick description of what you would like to demonstrate in the "Notes" section. We may need to select some to present, and compile the rest online in print, pictures, video, etc. If you don't want to present, but do have resources to share, (Instructables page, videos, plans, How-to guides, etc.) please add links to them in the comments section here. Thank you!

Role of Formal Research in CBS
6 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.The purpose of the presentation/group discussion would be to explore the role of research in the promotion and improvement of community bike shops. I want to present and generate discussion on how the development, implementation, and evaluation of strategies that encourage and educate individuals to take up cycling can be used to promote community bike shops and help fulfill their mission. I would mostly stick to these points but would also touch on how a partnership with a research institution, such as a university, can be an asset that helps further and improve the actions of local community bike shops.

So you want to powder coat?
12 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.In many ways, powder coating is the ideal finish for a bicycle, but the cost to have it done is often quite high, and the specialized equipment can make it unfeasible for the do-it-yourselfer.
But that doesn't mean that it's impossible to powder coat at home.
This workshop will touch on the advantages and pitfalls in setting up a home-based powder coating operation.

The day everybody biked instead
2 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.This will be a workshop about spreading the sheer joy of a mature mainstream bicycle culture that includes storytelling and a group brainstorming/action planning session on how to make the future happen faster. We'll start with the Coles Notes' story of the Plain Bicycle project (how two Winnipeggers and a Vancouverite and colleagues from the major cities brought a 40' shipping container full of abandoned Omafiets (grandma bikes) to Winnipeg and why). Together, we'll talk about what setting up a community bike shop looks like in a country with 1.3 bicycles per person, how priorities and mindsets differ and conspire to do all we can to bring a little bit of Holland home.

The forgotten "ism": ageism
23 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Aka, bike shop age dynamics. Our little shop has always gotten along and the shop managers have usually ranged in age from 20 to 70+. We've been asked what's our secret because other shops have had difficulties between the older and younger staff/volunteers. This workshop would be for those who would like to discuss those issues and hopefully we could provide suggestions how we've managed to succeed where others have failed.

The Role of Community Bike Shops as Advocates
20 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.As someone who works for a community bike shop (New Hope Community Bikes in Hamilton, ON) and does bike advocacy on the side, I'd be interested in sharing my experience and hearing from others about how they integrate advocacy, especially for better cycling infrastructure, into their CBS. Is providing affordable bikes/parts and a space for folks to take ownership of their repairs enough if they don't feel comfortable riding on the roads? Group rides and cycle safety education can help grow a cycling population, but can also highlight the lack of places where newer or less confident cyclists of all ages can comfortably ride. Infrastructure can also be inequitably distributed or seen as a marker of gentrification--what can we do to keep the advocacy process accountable and equitable? I'd like for this workshop to be an open discussion so we can learn from each other's experiences, but I'm happy to start things off/facilitate/take notes if needed.

The Role of Community Bike Shops in a Gentrifying City.
23 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.This workshop seeks to examine the role that CBS's can play in both perpetuating and fighting against gentrification within the cities that they operate. As an employee of a Hamilton based community bike shop gentrification has become a major concern when considering programming and advocacy. This workshop will be a more informal discussion where we can learn from each other's experiences in anti-gentrification action through cycling and bike shops. I will introduce myself, and rapidly gentrifying city to get things going and then we can split into groups to discuss questions such as: How does the volunteer model which many community bike shops run on favour gentrified neighbourhoods? How can community bike shops ensure they continue to serve marginalized populations within their city in the face of gentrification. etc

Web Development Onboarding
7 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.A hands-on workshop where we will be setting up the development environment on bikebike.org and bikecollectives.org on your computer. If you are a web developer or aspire to start learning web development you are welcome to attend. By attending you won't be committing to helping out but if you do, you are welcome to do so at your own pace. Please bring a computer.
We will be going through the process of installing dependencies and downloading and setting up the repositories that we own. We will also talk about ways that the environment can be improved and plans that are already in place to improve our ability to collaborate.
If you're more interested in helping out with copy, translations, design, or any other related aspect, you are welcome to join but time will be prioritized for developers. We need your help too so I'll do my best to answer any questions if time can be made.
Background
Since Bike!Bike! started in 2003 until 2012, each host organization re-built bikebike.org from scratch, all work and data was lost from year to year. In 2013 we decided to build a permanent site that would retain this information, lessen the load on host organizations, and provide additional tools for both hosts and attendees.
The process has not been without issue, we have re-built the site three times in two different languages, had usability issues, some really bad bugs, etc. However we have also been able to translate the site into Spanish (2015) and French (2017) and given some more powerful tools to administrators to help smooth out some of the common problems scheduling workshops, arranging housing, etc.
Back in 2013 we also re-built bikecollectives.org as a read-only one-page site, but there has been a lot of ideas on how we could make it more useful for our community. Over the next year the plan is to re-develop the site so that it uses much of the same code-base and database as bikebike.org which will allow us to add up-to-date organization information, translations, and more member specific tools such as the ability to create and view job postings.
Although I've gotten a lot of help from testers, translators, designers and copywriters along the way, almost all development has been done by me to date. I've struggled to get everything done from year-to-year and it is also really risky being the only one doing this, eventually I won't be able to commit the amount of time I currently am to these projects. My greatest struggle yet has been to actually get developers, or aspiring developers involved for any length of time.
Agenda
I plan to start with a very brief overview of the languages, architecture, and repositories involved. From there I'll help attendees go through the steps of downloading and installing dependencies. While we're working I'll go into more detail on the systems and respond to questions. We'll get as far as we can with the time given. There is likely a lot to be improved in the way that we currently do things so please feel free to speak up and make suggestions as we go.
Applications and Libraries
We will go over these in more detail during the workshop, but here is a brief overview of the repositories that we work with:
BikeBike: github.com/bikebike/BikeBike
This is the repo for the site that you're on right now.
bikecollectives_workbench: github.com/bikebike/bikecollectives_workbench
The workbench is the tool that we use for editing copy, translations, and previewing screenshots of bikebike.org. We will also eventually use it for bikecollectives.org and include tools for deploying code, viewing error rates and statistics, and any other development related features we dream up. It is accessible at workbench.bikecollectives.org.
bikecollectives: github.com/bikebike/bikecollectives
This will be the repository we will use for bikecollectives.org, it currently has the iteration that I started working on last year but I intend to start again from scratch.
bikecollectives_core: github.com/bikebike/bikecollectives_core
This gem contains models and any other common code that will be shared between bikebike.org, the workbench, and bikecollectives.org.
lingua_franca: github.com/lingua-franca/lingua_franca
This is our custom i18n library, it is mainly used so that during integration testing we will collect data on what translations are used and where. This data is then provided to the workbench so that translators and copy-writers can understand the context of each translation and provide meaningful copy.
bumbleberry: github.com/bumbleberry/bumbleberry
This is our common front-end library, it is designed to reduce the load on browsers by analyzing the user agent and collecting data from caniuse.com to deliver the minimal amount of CSS and compatible HTML. The idea was experimental when I began work on Bike!Bike! and I'm now worried that it is too complex moving forward, we may need to strip it out but we are also very dependent on it.

Youth Bike Programs - Drop-In vs. Classes
21 personnes s'intéressent à cette présentation.Do you run a youth bike program? Do you want to run a youth program?
This workshop will be a discussion led by members of Charlie's FreeWheels, a Toronto based organization, on the benefits and challenges of hosting Build-a-Bike/Earn-a-Bike programs for youth.
We've learned a lot about hosting youth-focused programs out of our shop since 2011 but still face challenges like attendance and best practices for registration and retention.
We'll lead the conversation with examples of what we've had success with and open it up for others to share their successes and challenges as well!
