Day 2 turned out to be easier to navigate as I got used to Austin’s downtown landscape. I started by geeking out on 50 years of Apollo, how the space program’s journey has informed our future direction.

Chris Haigh of True Change Associates and Thomas Harwell of Google rounded out the panel with amazing insights and advice.

The best was definitely saved for last with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaking to a packed ballroom about how she got involved in politics, the changes she experienced and more on her Green New Deal. Then Bill Nye asked her a question and the crowd went wild!
