    Very informative. Diverse topics.

    These topics were really interesting, especially the ChatGPT and the musicians on tour information. It was difficult to hear audience questions when the audience member did not use a microphone. In these instances, it would be helpful to have the presenter repeat/ summarize the question before they respond. Thank you!!
