Vibewire presents
a conference on ideas,
techniques and technologies for building community
dialogue.
Voting
and tuning in to the 6 o’clock news are not enough to keep our democracy
healthy. We need to talk to each other too.
NewConnections
brings together some of the brightest thinkers across media, virtual reality,
