Editor's Notes
Janie (pb and jl)

Be part of larger global community
What we’re about knowledge, experience, innovation.
Chance to shine in front of the best and brightest.
To bring light to your theme
To build a new tribe
To showcase your industry, services, and purpose
to raise awareness about important unknown points of view

We invited participants to provide the stage decoration by bringing objects that were important to them and were tied to the theme of culture of community. These objects served as catalysts for conversations throughout the day and beyond as we posted pictures and stories on our Twitter feed and tweeted updates when new photos and stories appeared.
PB
Get your contracts signed early
Be clear with vendors about expectations and limitations
allow for time shifts
Choose videos that are diverse
