We have begun planning for the Austin TX Business Analysis Development Day (ATX BADD), scheduled for August 18, 2017. The Planning Committee will continue last year's lively sessions and create an inviting conference atmosphere for both formal and informal interaction. As in the past, the Committee will seek to promote the elements that have made ATX BADD compelling for so many of us - commitment to diversity, balance, inclusion, coalition, and community.
 
Thanks to all of you for the success of last year's ATX BADD, and also to our sponsors and members of the Planning Committee, who worked so hard to bring us together last August. The ATX BADD conferences cannot succeed without your active and continued involvement. We encourage you to help us do the same this year and make ATX BADD the most memorable and valuable conference yet.
