I will be speaking at the DNP P&I Seminar on June 29.

I’ll be speaking at a session titled “The Future of Cultural Experiences: Will ‘Learning’ Change Through Transcendental Art Appreciation Experiences?—The Possibilities and Challenges of Cutting-Edge VR Technology.” I’m really looking forward to this exhibition, too!
