what the heck you gotta go! I mean if you've never been or dont know a lot of people who stutter, it's an experience unlike any other you can get. Its the greatest resource available. If trends continue, you'll be looking at around 1,000 stutterers, therapists, and families at the conference. It's like stepping into an environment where stutterers become the majority and it's normalized. Everyone is stuttering and meeting people and having a great time. You should go. Plus it's actually in Chicago, mane!
