“The community AHF has is just amazing to see and experience. It can be daunting to go to such a large conference with 550+ people for the first time, but I never once felt out of place. Everyone I passed was happy to start a conversation and make connections. I left knowing I could reach out to just about anyone there and they would be willing to help me with anything I need.”
