NECC Keynote-Dewitt Jones
Dewitt Jones: First can I say how HUGE this conference hall is! Five large screens giving late comers like me sitting way in the back a great view via a screen. Dewitt’s motivational speech was great, of course the beautiful pictures that he had to help tell his story were great as well. Dewitt’s message was simple. Push yourself to […]

Unconnected in the Information age
