June 2016 What I've been up to

  • I went to the SFU Skillful Engagement: Design thinking for facilitators with Sarah Hay & Jesi Carson of the Vancouver Design Nerds - check their page out
  • I was looking forward to ULI's Expropriation 101: An introduction to Expropriation Law for Non-Lawyers but it was postponed
  • I had long decided I would not attend the NASW 2016 National Conference in Washington, DC. I was however, able to virtually attend the conference. I was able to attend the Keynotes, Plenary Sessions & a selection of Break Out Sessions live streaming. The technology let me communicate with other virtual attendees around the world too. But even more interesting, the conference had a very comprehensive app that included a timeline that enabled interaction with those in DC at the conference with full Twitter and LinkedIN integration. Technology is going in a very positive and functional direction!
