Thank you to everyone who attended the OpenSpace one-year anniversary celebration. OpenSpace aims to bring future leaders together to create networks and learn from current leaders as to how they advanced in their careers, as well as sharing knowledge about what's coming next. Some excellent networking took place, with prizes awarded, a quiz, and, most importantly, new relationships created. Thank you to our quiz master, Alexander Platt. We look forward to seeing everyone again in October.
