Fwd: PROGRAM AND VIRTUAL ATTENDANCE NOW AVAILABLE: Building Infrastructure in the North - June 13th, 2024

[David Harries]

Perhaps of interest.

 

Very Very much a dialogue among committed and in-house friends.

 

I wonder how much will be 're-visited' from the 1970s and early 1980s when there was a lot of interest, activity and achievement in the north and Arctic....

Forgot to mention what 'we' had found 'concerning': 1) 24 moderators and speakers in only eight hours 2) NO Q and A time allocated (or apparently possible).
