Once a year, the volunteers on LDSTech gather in Utah for a conference. This year’s conference will be March 29-30 in Riverton, Utah. I’m looking forward to meeting some of the people I’ve only met and worked with online.

In anticipation of this annual event, I created a countdown widget (Mac OS X only). This lovely little timer will sit in your dashboard and happily countdown the days, hours, minutes, and seconds to the start of LDSTech 2012. It will even pop up an alert on the morning of March 29 at 9am, in case you forget where you’re supposed to be. Enjoy!
