Monthly RoundUp
It's been a pretty untraditional summer for most of us — staycations, quarantined backyard bbqs, and other creative outlets to spend our sunny days at home. Now, we're headed into fall and learning all the ways our lives will continue to adapt like virtual schooling, outdoor hair salons... and how we'll be hosting Meridian this year!
In case you haven't heard yet, Meridian 2020 is going to be a virtual event, free for everyone, running November 16th to 20th. Registration is live today at the Meridian website. I can't wait to spend the week with our ecosystem and share our ideas and plans for the network. We've already announced some exciting speakers (like Reid Hoffman and President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf) who are going to help lead our discussions on building Global Connections to Solve Real World Challenges. And we're programming some fun, too -- like games, networking, and of course, Stellar swag. We hope you'll join us in November!
