It was great to be back together in person for the 2023 ERS National Conference to learn, collaborate and feel the energy of our ERS Community. This year we enjoyed a combined event with the ECERS International Meeting, where experts around the world shared their incredible knowledge and experience. We honored the authors of the Environment Rating Scales with a 40th Anniversary celebration of the ECERS. Most importantly, we enjoyed the community-empowering experience we’d all been waiting for!
