Over the past three days, attendees of the ACT 2 Experience have caught a glimpse of the road ahead, had their hopes for the future bolstered with the wisdom of over 20 publishing executives and professionals, shaken hands with a Academy Award winner and, in general, just had fun. But before the curtain closes on ACT 2, they'll look back on what they've learned. Tonight, the Oxford University Club will host the closing dinner, featuring remarks from Magazine Innovation Center Founder and Director Samir Husni. Tonight will be a time for reflection, and every day thereafter a time for action.
