"For two years, I have brought my 26-year-old daughter who is a ‘career woman.’ We have some quality mother-daughter bonding time together. Life is very hectic, and even though we live in the same city, there is something special about the drive to the Conference and the uninterrupted conversations, the dinners and the Conference itself.”
