If you’re on the fence, listen to something we heard from an attendee at the San Diego event:
“My favorite thing about the San Diego Race Director Workshop was the small group setting. I was able to ask lots of questions and established solid networking contacts. A few of us from that workshop have become great friends and call upon each other regularly for advice and cross promotional ideas.”
