Registration is open for Elevate 2024

Registration is now open for Elevate 2024, which will happen on December 2nd and 3rd.

More information on the conference is available here.  Like most of the Elevate conferences since 2020 this will be a free multi-day online conference with keynotes on the morning of the first day and tech sessions on the afternoon of the first day and all of the next day.

The sessions and tracks listings aren't available yet, but there are 14 community presenters so I'm expecting there will be quite a few sessions.
