2. Communicate to a range of audiences within a specific user group.

3. Communication - short term or long term? Aim for long term.

4. Long term relationships are network builders.

5. Three things: Know the audience and value, first impressions are important, give them something memorable.

6. Virtual. So try to replicate the physical experience virtually. (Social Presence Theory?)

7. Be honest, be direct, be clear.

8. Intention and expectation.

9. 10 sec, 60 sec, 3 minute, 10 minute - practice communicating.

12. Learning, validation, opportunity - create something new.
