QA or the Highway<\/a> has been higher than at national testing conferences, a validation of the fact that people are hungry for continuing education, at a reasonable price and for only a day.<\/p>\n\u201cI want to continue to be able to provide some great content, and make it as affordable for attendees as it can be,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The success of the conference has inspired Ours to look beyond the Columbus area. Going forward, he\u2019d like to take the concept and introduce it to other Midwest cities, as well, such as St. Louis, Chicago \u2013 even Atlanta \u2013 locations that are six hours apart, so that attendance is never more than a three-hour drive.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are lots of people out there who want to be better at what they do. They are passionate and eager to be better,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In fact, it\u2019s what Ours loves most about organizing the event: the networking the conference provides.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like a giant brainstorming session,\u201d he said, a great way to bounce ideas off of other professionals.<\/p>\n
But he\u2019s not ready to abandon Columbus yet \u2013 if ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to keep it a tradition,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s important to build a community in our location.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
