• NOTE: We would like to get a better handle on Conferences and Competitions happening in the Excel Community.  We certainly have out Excel Challenge every episode.  And there are maybe 3 conferences a year that we are aware of.  Plus Chandoo usually has a dashboard contest at some point throughout the year, and DataPig may have something fun like his meme content.  But it just seems like there has to be more out there.  Are there any Excel competitions that we are missing?  If so, please add them in the comments section.
