This is a ‘NO BAG CONFERENCE.’ For several years delegates have been telling us not to provide a conference bag, so this year we have responded. In lieu of bags, EARCOS will donate $1,500 dollars to Operation Smile, dedicated in providing free surgeries to repair cleft palates and other facial deformities for children around the globe.
