There's still time to clear your evening next Thursday 14th and join us for what should be an interesting presentation about the much talked about use of AI.

Appreciating technology that can allow me to do this within 30mins and on my phone. In the past decade, the landscape of creative expression has evolved significantly. Generative AI art and mobile editing platforms like Canva have democratized creativity, allowing users to craft visually stunning content effortlessly on handheld devices. This marks a departure from the era when Photoshop, a desktop powerhouse demanding substantial processing power, dominated the scene. I can still remember vividly that my laptop could not run Adobe Creative Cloud smoothly. Now, with the convenience of mobile platforms and the advent of generative AI, individuals can seamlessly generate and edit art on the go. This accessibility contrasts with the resource-intensive nature of Photoshop, which required robust desktop setups. The shift reflects not only technological advancements but also a broader cultural move towards immediacy and inclusivity in the realm of digital art creation. #aiart

Inspirational & informative about the work we do…

I'm ready! How do you get ready to attend a virtual conference? Me? Other than clearing some chunks of time in my calendar I have learned that one of the things that helps me simulate that in-person immersion experience of a traditional conference is to have lots of meals ready to eat. This feels a little silly to admit to but it's so true for me. As a passionate advocate for replacing some in-person gatherings with well designed interactive virtual ones I keep asking people about their experiences at both and what they miss when they attend online. I know that quality, very real connecting can be done online because I'm constantly experiencing this so I was looking for other factors. One thing I keep hearing when I probe deeper, is that going away to a conference is a stock component of corporate culture because the travel, hotel and meals feel like a perk, an endorsement of worth, and a reward that people just don't want to give up. That has made me wonder if leaders did a much better job of supplying virtual conference participants with proper appreciation for their work and then extra perks like meal deliveries while attending, would virtual conferences become more popular? What else would help people feel like they are "away" from the everyday grind and also feel valued as employees? Spa services? Housecleaning? Childcare? Please tell me if you've experienced or heard of any "instead of travel perks".
