We've come on board as a media sponsor for the September 20th edition of Sam Sullivan's Public Salon which I TOLD YOU about back in May after attending for the first time.
The lineup of speakers is excellent and includes two folks we've introduced you to in the past: Rudy Buttignol of the Knowledge Network (whom I featured HERE in my 50 Coffees series) and Vancouver author, Timothy Taylor (whom we featured in THIS Most Awesome interview).
