Hello everyone,
I had an amazing time at Extro-5! In fact, it was one of the best experiences of my adult life. I just want to take the time to say a deeply heartfelt "thank you!" to everyone involved in making the conference a reality as well as my trip down there. : )
The speakers chosen were excellent and I learned so much. I look forward to reading the transcripts so I can try to absorb all that I missed the first time around. Max's opening talks really grabbed me with the way he reviewed what progress had been made by technology and the institute. It gave me a sense of history in the making.
Natasha introduced her extremely important new organization, Pro-Act. With this she will forge an alliance to counter the negative luddite influences out there in the mass media. My best wishes are with her in this endeavor and I hope we can all help out in some way.
I met so many incredible people I had only known through the extrolist. And found the informal conference member discussions throughout the conference and afterward very fascinating. The networking there is the invisible other half of things I did not realize about till I got there.
My deepest thanks to Max More, E. Shaun Russell, Natasha, Robert Bradbury, Brent Allsop and his father, and Spike Jones and his wife Shelly who all in various ways made my trip possible. I am forever grateful!!
best wishes,
John
