I'm wanting to put in a PD form but need information on CONASTA 67. I followed the link above and it takes me to the home page but there are no links to the early bird prices and I cant find any information on whats on offer so I can show how amazing an opportunity it would be for me to attend. What am I doing wrong ???

UPDATE; I've since found out the CONASTA site goes active tomorrow. :clap3:
