I joined CSI a little under a year ago after graduating from college and am excited to be hearing about the CSI National Conference! As an emerging professional/recent college graduate, I am brainstorming ways to help reduce the costs of attending the conference with others in my position. If you or someone at your firm is an emerging professional and is looking for ways to attend, please comment and connect! I would love to expand CSI's young professional base and meet everyone at the national conference.
