Resource and Presenter Bios

Esprit resources, services, and classes and are meant to offer something of interest to everybody, whether you are a CD, TS, SO, or anything in between. Many of the most popular classes from past years are scheduled to return, but fresh classes are always planned and being sought.

If you are a resource or instructor and would like to propose a possible service offering or course, please contact the Resource or Presenter coordinator.

Biographies and class/service descriptions will be added frequently between now and Esprit as resources and presenters are officially confirmed and scheduled. As we did last year, we expect to have several dozen speakers and product/service representatives again this year.
