>>> It was a great convention and well worth the time and investment. I liked the music from the Performing Arts Division. The song played last night about diversity which contained verbal statements where people were naming their identities was really powerful. So was that you playing the cello Leslie? Very nice. My only disappointment was that some of the exhibitors like NLS didn't have Zoom links at least as far as I could tell. Technology-wise the only booths I skipped were Vispero and Humanware. I also missed the Friday night session and I hope it was recorded.
