HIP Newsletter - Issue 0019

Welcome to Issue 0019

Hello everyone! We're working hard behind the scenes to make our three events in San Francisco this March go off without a hitch. The order of events will be Philip Zimbardo's 90th Birthday (13th), The Hero Round Table (14th and 15th), and lastly the HIP Summit (16th). Tickets are on sale on our website (Link at the bottom) so get them while they're hot! Also, keep your eyes out in the following weeks for social media posts discussing the speakers, workshops available on the day, breakdowns of each event, and more. Lastly, we will be launching a limited edition San Francisco shirt on our Redbubble store, which will be exclusively sold in the lead-up to this event. It'll be a week or two before the new design is out but you can check out our current designs at the link below.
