Three days at our Virtual United Success symposium last May 2022 brought back the spark to us with exciting, meaningful content about turning the tables on cyber crime with Keith Raymond, the value of storytelling with Karin Kiesl, the emerging Metaverse with Annelize Booysen, and two visits to member sites to learn about a large industrial valve manufacturer, Invincible Valves, the business of member Pam Duplessis in South Africa, and Brightloops, creator of clothing from yarn made from discarded clothing in the Netherlands, the business of member Ellen Mensink.

Beautifully was setup for us beautifully by Little Big Productions from South Africa with our intrepid emcee, member Alexandra Yung. We even had a surprise visit by Sophia the Robot, first non-human to be recognized by the UN. We now know why we really need to meet in person in 2023.
