The BIC Curriculum Summit, January 23, 2013

It wasn't just great to see new faces and good friends, but to hear the buzz of exciting ideas. After getting caffeinated and hearing a brief presentation on the BIC launch, working groups got together in ten tables of six to explore the big challenges facing the communications industry today and what types of leaders will shape the future. Here are some photos from the BIC Curriculum Summit on January 23rd that demonstrate the power of deep thinking and good conversation.
