On Aug. 21, North America had the opportunity to witness a total solar eclipse, the moment when the moon completely blocks the sun's light. It's a beautiful sight to behold. Although the eclipse was visible anywhere in North America, where you viewed the eclipse changed your experience.
A stretch of the United States starting from Salem, Ore. all the way to Charleston, S.C. was in an area known as the Path of Totality. Anyone along this Path during the eclipse would see the sun completely covered by the moon, 100 percent. From my home in New York City, the moon covered only 71 percent of the sun.
I received a text message from a very dear friend of mine on Sunday. "Do you want a postcard from Nashville?" She was in Nashville, Tenn., a city along the Path of Totality.
I didn't see the eclipse. I chose to stay indoors, deciding a 71 percent view wasn't worth it. My friend, however, realized the amazing opportunity this was and didn't let life pass her by. The next chance to see one happens again in 2024, stretching from Texas to Maine.
Will it be viewable from my home next time? Yes. But as I see all the photos and stories from everyone about how the eclipse looked and where they were when it happened, I realize — I have to wait seven years for my next chance.
Is your business on the Path of Totality or will it take you seven years to catch up to the rest of the digital world? One of the conferences below might bring you up to 100 percent.
If we've missed a conference of interest — anything related to digital experience, customer experience, information management, enterprise collaboration or the like — add the event to our list.
