Implementers Conference
- HELINA chose their conference site

Sprints
- Darius: The schedule is laid out, and it would be great to have leadership input
- i.e. Hamish is leading evaluation, so it's helpful to know the priorities in order to start/complete that process
- Review Road Map from the community that we prioritized during the Boston meeting to make sure the sprints meet those expectations
