Ohio State Assembly of AST

It's been a few weeks since our conference. If you attended please let us know what you think. Should we keep the conference where it's at? Do you want more vendors? What did you think about our speakers?

A great morning of education at the Ohio Assembly of AST Conference! We cannot thank our speakers enough for their presentations and our members for attending!

Happy Saturday Ohio AST! It has been a great morning in Columbus at our annual conference!
