GATE 3 & StoryCon 2013 Th anks and Gratitude

A Review of News & Insights in Transformational Entertainment and Media
An Appreciative Look Back at GATE 3 and StoryCon 2013 Much planning went into our GATE events, with a core team of highly talented and deeply committed volunteers working together to make sure our signature events would be as entertaining, inspiring, and informative as possible. Another
150 or so volunteers joined us for the last six weeks of production to bring it all off. Nearly 50 presenters, performers, and artists’ con-tent sparkled throughout the day and eve-ning. All … offered as a gift to our audience and the world.
All told, nearly 4,000 attendees found their way to the Saban on February 2, our largest attendance yet. Without them, of course, we’d just be talking to ourselves. In addition, our live webcast stream attracted tens of thousands of viewers worldwide.
It may seem like it’s there and gone and, in a sense, it is. But in another way, these GATE events live on forever in the minds and hearts of everyone they touched and certainly in the ongoing transformation of the world through the transformation of entertainment and media.
We profoundly thank you all, each and every one of you!

GATE 3 and StoryCon Presenters, Performers, and Artists
Our deepest gratitude to all the presenters, per-formers, and artists who shared their unending wisdom, talent, and creativity to make our pro-grams magical and truly transformational. A spe-cial thanks to our amazing emcees, Kyle Cease (StoryCon) and Louie Anderson (GATE 3).
All our talented presenters, performers, and art-ists are listed here; however, we acknowledge and profoundly thank anyone we inadvertently may have omitted. Thank you, everyone!
An ApologyWe extend our deepest apologies to Paul Hawken for the technical mishaps during his GATE 3 presen-tation. We’re great fans of Paul’s extraordinary work. His book Blessed Unrest details the “shift” and the countless groups doing great things in the world. Paul’s work is vital to understanding what GATE intends to achieve and with whom. His GATE presentation received only positive reviews, but we’re very sorry it did not go smoothly. A special and heartfelt thank you to you, Paul.
