Being asked to participate in the @CAMathCouncil @cmc_south conference Ignite was a real honor. You know what's even better? My family drove in LA traffic for 4 hours to surprise me and see it in person! The night of my professional life. Thank you to all who made it happen.

If you help run a conference for math educators, I have a question for you: what are you doing to encourage younger teachers (who tend to use Instagram and TikTok instead of Twitter and Facebook) to come to your conference? How do they know that your conference exists?
