Albert Einstein once remarked, “You can’t use an old map to explore a new world.” It’s time for a new map!

We are living in a new world that’s for sure and a new map is required. Now more than ever we need to come together, learn together and work together as a community to help each other. The big benefit of virtual is also the “listen on demand” option.
