Addressing Your Issues

An entire session of the Friday morning program at the EBBF Annual Conference is dedicated to consulting over issues that participants take to the event. The frequent comment "I would love to work with a group of people like this" will be put into practice when you will be able to choose between eight different groups who will consult over the eight issues that you will be voting as the most revelant from those that we have received during regsitration (see below) and will receive over the next few weeks.

Add your own personal issue as you register for the Annual Conference.
