I was talking to someone about the Blandin Conference and they didn’t realize that the invitation to the conference included an invitation to the pre-conference event:

As part of the Minnesota Sesquicentennial celebration, the Sesquicentennial commission is sponsoring conversations on Minnesota’s future. The Blandin Foundation has joined the Sesquicentennial in supporting a conversation on Minnesota’s Broadband Future.

I think this is going to be a fun event – a chance to be a big decision maker in a simulated community – or for some folks maybe it’s a chance to relinquish the big decision maker’s hat in return for the hat of a business owner, educator, or other community member.

If you’re coming to the conference – I hope you’ll consider attending the pre-conference event, which begins tomorrow at 1:00.

I’ll see you there!
