The evening with Walter Isaacson was wonderful. Walter was a total gentleman and engaged with our clients in the crowd before the event (which I appreciate is difficult). He then gave a masterful presentation that was informative, thoughtful, and entertaining. The responses from our guests have been nothing short of fabulous. | | |
