The launch of Conversations in Agave last month was a true labor of love. Like the rest of the world, transitioning to a virtual platform is quite a learning curve, not only in figuring out all of the technical details, but also understanding what kind of content and delivery is best suited. We were very lucky to have the caliber of industry talent we did to launch the series and we are very happy to provide the links to those talks. Once we have our new website up and running, we’ll be able to display these with the prestige they deserve. In the meantime, listen and watch at your leisure and be sure to check out our May program.
