Off the top of my head, I'd also want to hear from VCs, entrepeneurs, and non-profits. <BR/><BR/>Now as to how to create a session from all that ... hmm ... interesting challenge. Still, like I said, I think it's a great idea, and it's worth giving a lot more thought to!jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740980228561158001noreply@blogger.com
