Thanks for this Sean. Pre-registration for the event is going on now. Should be a good event with the same energy we had at the Colloquium. Hope you can make it down.

Scott,

I loved the event and came out with a lot more questions rolling around in my head than before—that’s my litmus test for a really good event, intellectual stimulation.

You had two great headliners and lots of other interesting and classroom focused presentations. Appreciate all yours and everyone else’s hard work.

I’ll have my Project Peace video of the event up shortly!
