The thing I enjoy the most is meeting people outside of my little small town bubble. Each new meeting brings in new ideas and new friends.
What's great is going to the general sessions and looking at all the faces around you, each one unique, but in each person's eyes you see the excitement for Keystone."
Everybody feels connected at the Keystone Conference. I remember that at one of the recent conferences, we were in Disneyland we were going to the Indiana Jones ride. It was dark and we were walking through the maze of trees to the line. All of the sudden you hear a few small voices in the park start the Keystone Clap, then you hear voices in the dark yell it. Next you hear more of the park explode with the pride and excitement of Keystone. That's Keystone, in a nutshell!
