Greetings !

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Just a quick update that Future Festival is 2 weeks away and we are psyched. We have a couple hundred VR headsets, 100 drones, and a 110-page book of the future for everyone coming.

Tomorrow we are sending the Trend Safari choices, so if you have anyone else coming, this is the last chance to register and still get first choice for the safaris.

See you all in two weeks!

Enjoy!
