2018 FGS Conference in Fort Wayne! Yes, We Will Be There!

 FGS


FGS opens on Wednesday, August 22nd in Fort Wayne, Indiana. For those attending SLIG in 2019, you can get a preview of what you will experience, since 15 SLIG instructors and/or coordinators will be sharing their expertise throughout the conference. If you are still undecided about whether a week-long institute with expert instructors is for you and you are attending FGS, take this opportunity to see what you may be missing.

If you have questions regarding the Institute or just want to see what we are all about, pay us a visit at Booth 506.





Come see the many SLIG 2019 instructors before January and experience their brilliance!
