With all the momentous events of recent weeks, we decided -- after a lot of discussion and thought -- to reconfigure this month’s planned Gatsby Days. Now is not the right time to take attention and space away from the Black Lives Matter movement.

Today’s post is the first in the series, presenting all the product and program announcements that we had planned for the original online event.
