The wonderful thing about the UA
Global Summit is that you build a

2012 partcipants stay in contact and
meet up from tme to tme.
We do our best work at the
edges of our felds, and the
intersectons of diferent felds.
The diferent angles diferent

problem is tremendously
interestng. The UA Global
Summit was ideal for this.
