KI student Hannah Gardiner sent us news about her conference participation:

Since 2008, our public Seminar Series has started many conversations. To mark our first decade, we've invited some of our graduates back to tell us what they've done since embarking on their KI adventure.

We hope you can join us at one or more of our Fall 2018 KI Seminars to hear about the broad variety of activities our alumni have undertaken, and enter the continuing conversation.
