Welcome one and all to the wrap up of the ASTD international conference and expo. Why hasn’t ASTD figured out how to do things right. Once again, ASTD dropped the ball. Apparently there must be a huge demand for scalping ASTD badges or hood winking ASTD for access into their show. Leapfactor. Map on the app.
