This year will be the fifth annual Layer 8 Conference! Our first year was hosted at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. In 2019, we moved to the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence. Then COVID hit and we transitioned to two years of a virtual conference. We are a community-based conference and the community prefers that we stay virtual, so we will! No travel required.
