| As the culture, art, and commerce spaces rebalance to incorporate blended physical and virtual options, it is clearly important that we understand early on how changes will impact our business and creative endeavors. |
| Please join us Wednesday, February 16th, 1:30-4:45pm PT for SIX (6) 25-minute talks over Zoom. |
