When I arrive at a conference or panel talk, I always hope to take part in a vibrant conversation and leave with insights about how to make the best future for medicine possible. But most events were chock-full of boring speeches delivered in front of bullet-point filled Powerpoints, sounding and feeling the same as talks 20 years ago. But do their organizers realize this? Did you know that it's already possible to use augmented reality during presentations to get the core message of the talk to audiences better? Are you aware of the potential virtual reality possesses for medical events and conferences?

WASHINGTON – Police say two Burundian teens who disappeared from an international robotics competition in Washington have been found safe. A Metropolitan Police statement Tuesday said Don Ingabire and Audrey Mwamikazi, who were seen crossing into Canada, "have been located safely." Event organizers believe the teens may have planned their disappearance. Members of the Burundi-American community say they have little doubt the teens are planning to seek asylum, either in the U.S. or in Canada.
