It was an incredible day – more about what I learned in future posts – and several sponsors provided beverages and food to make the day completely FREE to those in attendance.

But it can be used for so many multi-user projects, such as planning an event, running a committee or board together, etc. This helps declutter your inbox, and add the task to your task list and/or calendar so that you actually get the task done!
