#4shonolulu has ended, and I’m sitting down in Toronto for my first unrushed breakfast in a week. It had its hiccups, but it was amazing to see people and ideas come together. It really felt like connections were being built. Thanks all for your understanding, and for supporting us and each other.

Just over 8 days until #4sHonolulu. Even if you're not registered, you'll be able to see some of the main events online. We're planning to stream the keynote and both plenary sessions on the 4S Youtube channel, if I can make everything work in time.
