Hi Alix, Looks very interesting, BUT - for those of us who most likely won’t be able to travel to the US (I’m think of many in the Antipodean community, of which I’m part, at the moment, but I think this’ll hold true for many European and Asian members as well) - I couldn’t see the options for remotely “attending”. Are there any thoughts around this, whether in the format of live streaming or recording and providing an accessible videolink + discussion platform?
