  1. thanks for sharing the information. For me, I'm "hopeful" to see how this event can spark our imagination to re-frame or refine our current "existing" conversations as well as look for ways forward. There are some follow up and follow through possibilities which we can continue on after the event with friends old and new, younger and older, etc.
