An invitation from Andy
Give it two or three hours a day.
I'd like you with us for all three afternoons, Thursday through Saturday, November 12–14. Give the Forum two or three hours a day. Listen in, and ask your questions during the panels: that's where the best conversations happen.
It's fully virtual and accessible: join from a laptop, tablet or phone. Camera off is fine.
If you run a small or medium-sized office, host a watch party. Invite your team, your employees and your constituents, especially for Day 2, People & Prevention.
