[Colorado-Talk] the convention and Alexa?

[Amy Sabo]

hello david,
I too wished that this skill was also listed on the convention page as
well too,. I didn't know that you could use the alexa echos to listen
to the convention eithermyself too! I only through zoom it was only
through your computer or smart phone or land phones too!

but, maybe someone will make that announcement asap before tomorrow or
before general sessions starts on Thursday afternoon/evening.

I like this idea and, I plan to use this skill besides zoom for using
it to listen to the convention.

hugs,
amy
