On a personal note, despite the fact that everyone has presented this as my idea, I couldn’t have done it without the incredibly generous business people that came to the table to help make this a worthwhile venture. I especially want to thank Julie Heidelberg, from Heidelberg PR and Karen Gillman, from Intelligent Office, who have played a critical role in the organization and planning right from the beginning.
