First-of-Its-Kind Conference I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I knew if we did an event it would have to satisfy a few key criteria. It would need to have real impact. It would have to be in a special room. And, it would need to include special people. I decided now...

Where Do We Fit In? Our generation is trying to figure out where we fit in, what our place in the world is, as we are probably going to be around and healthy for a considerably longer period than we had planned. This often means some soul searching, and often...
