We were there via LiveStream November 7th 2018

One of the nicest things that has happened this year were I met some great people who are showing up and participating in community efforts. This year, I hosted a Livestream Event of an organization called MoveTheDial. They were having their summit. The first ever global summit. The agenda was jam packed with amazing thought provoking leaders and up and coming tech super stars. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I sent out a couple of invitations to local businesses who I thought might like to attend.

We booked the conference room and with the support of our host - we ordered in some breakfast and some snacks for the day.

Anyway, to my delight - people showed up. And while we were livestreaming the event the best thing happened - we had breakout conversations on how these topics affected or could affect us.
