SummitRecap2012 STC Summit Recap
And in the blink of an eye, The Summit is over. But just because you can't attend any more sessions doesn't mean the fun is over. Here's an assortment of photos, articles, and blog posts so you can relive the good times.
  • Twitter played a major part during Summit 2012, and the #stc12 Twitter stream is still going strong.
  • STC's national office put together a list of blog posts that attendees wrote about the Summit.
  • STC Chicago took quite a few pictures during the Communities Reception and Music Jam, which you can view on our Flickr site.
  • Pinterest turned out to be a neat way to collect photographic moments from the Summit.

If you know of other resources, let us know by emailing [email protected].
