Hi everyone,
This looks like it has great potential, especially with the messaging
involved in the transportation and health/safety/prevention fields.
I'm going to attend if my schedule permits and will try to share notes. If
anyone else attends, perhaps we could coordinate and share impressions with
the group.
Let me know if you sign up and you're interested in helping out on a
summary.
Best,
Phyllis
