Yes, that’s fair.
I was not super excited and a bit nervous to visit our southern neighbour.
I spent quite a while with some new friends I made from McMaster and Trent. It was a great networking experience.
Thanks for encouraging Travis to do a conference in Canada. We would love that too!
FYI, and perhaps you are not surprised… there was a LOT of talk about AI.
StarRez seems to be doubling down.

Hi Montana,
Due to the current political situation, MRU Residence selected not to send any delegates this year to the conference.
In previous years, I spoke with Travis Knipe and asked him to maybe choose a Canadian city for a StarRez Conference. Considering the first ever StarRez Conference was held at the University of Calgary, I feel it would be appropriate to maybe host one in Calgary
again. However, his response has always been that it's not possible to do.

Hello,
Sorry, I meant to reach out before I left.
Did any of you folks go to the StarRez Global conference in Atlanta last week?
