Hi Folks, So glad you enjoyed last night's event. It's been our (Sustainable Tompkins) plan from the beginning to develop this for use across the region -- once we got the online infrastructure built and tested its legs in the Ithaca area. In fact, I made contact last night with someone from Binghamton about bringing it there next. Of course, this will necessitate that our partners in other areas do much of the legwork done by ST last night. I knew who to invite for exhibitors and speakers here, but would need the hosts in other areas to cover those bases and the other hosting logistics.
