Chris--
I for one am having trouble understanding what is going on in these
three-hour slots. Could you give a little more detail, please?
For instance, what is a typical invitation theme? What kinds of
conferences have you done these with? What were the results that made
them so good? Do you have a marketplace and wall, one or two sessions?
Thanks, Chris!
:- Doug.
PS: I am at # 62 in The Tao of Holding Space. I have to pause after
about every two.... This is great, Chris!
