Excited for the Los Angeles COGEL Conference?  If you're attending your first COGEL Conference or looking to meet new COGEL members, join us for this special Conference Preview where attendees will get to learn first-hand what to expect in December.  It's an opportunity to ask all the questions everyone in the room has, like: What is COGEL?  How to manage the conference schedule?  How can COGEL benefit your professional life?

Being new in the room can be challenging, but we'll make sure you feel comfortable!

We encourage cameras-on for this collaborative session.
