Event Topic: Nothing Accidental About It: The Intersection of Curiosity & Community
What does it really take to build a community of nearly two million people?

This Pulse session, we’re joined by Wally Koval, Founder and CEO of Accidentally Wes Anderson, for a fireside chat with Clea Conner, Founder of Art of Ideas and Founding CEO of Open to Debate.
We’ll dig into:
