Door Prizes and Announcements
High Tech, Low Tech, and No Tech: strategies for self-communication of important reminders, appointments and other valuable information, Doug Hunsinger, and the PCB Communications Team.
The communications team panel presented methods of accomplishing important personal tasks. Whether it’s jotting down that phone number, making a grocery list, or keeping that doctor’s appointment, the team presented high tech, low-tech, and non-tech solutions for dealing with these tasks. We don’t have all the answers, so audience participation was requested throughout the session.
