I have recently returned from KentPresents, a 2-day “idea festival” held in the beautiful town of Kent, Connecticut. Full details – and it’s well worth a look – at KentPresents.org. Seventy-two brilliant persons gave 1-hour presentations to the 300 attendees, on subjects ranging from politics, government, and diplomacy to genetics, technology, medicine, and art. The presentations were loosely arranged around the theme of “What Comes Next?”
