Reflections:

Rein: If you want to understand how an accident happened, you need to understand why what a person was doing made sense to them at the time. “What would this mean if this made sense?”

Jacob: Looking forward to new conference formats.

Carina: What solutions are people pitching for moving to virtual gatherings?

Naomi: Only in our space do we think it’s "weird" to talk about whether or not we need emergency reserves. Also, online Hallway Tracks? Yes or no? What do now?

Ewa: Moving to online events is emotional.
