I have been swamped and have not had a time to write up the notes from the event, but will be wokring on that task and catching up by the end of the week, including posting the audio we captured from a few sessions.  In the meantime, you may be interested in seeing some of […]

Heather Gold led the discussion. People are missing quality connections, meaningful conversations online. If you have a deep conversation with someone face to face, can you continue that online? Can you have such a deep connection when you meet online?
