It seemed like a very interesting offering and I was disappointed that I
could not attend the sessions. I did, however, manage to squeeze in one
of the Saturday workshops. I went to the one on the Dilbert Ethics Game
put on by an ethics officer from Lockheed Martin. It is our policy at
ArtsEdge to put up a report of staff conference attendance. When the
report on this workshop is ready and up on our site, I will notify the
list. Sorry it's not the entire meeting.
