Last week was the third, and largest, NPSP Day Washington DC, and let me tell you, it was really nice having an event in my own city for a change. A few days without travel meant I was able to catch-up even more on the knowledge shared during Dreamforce.
And that's a good thing, because I'm not sure who put the token in the question asking machine, but geez, the community sure brought a ton inquisitiveness to the table this week.
So without further ado, let's launch right into the largest PUB Crawl in history!
Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!
