2023 HAABB Fall Meeting 

September 20, 2023


After a few years apart,

it was a great feeling to be together again in person at the WellSky building in Overland Park, KS.  The HAABB Board of Directors worked hard to make this event a success and we couldn't have done it without the amazing speakers who delivered top notch presentations and the wonderful vendors who supported our meeting and networked with our attendees. Thank you to everyone involved in this year's meeting.
