Featured Speaker: Laura Ault

Laura Ault, food writer for the New Canaanite, shared how curiosity, storytelling, and community shape her work. From local restaurants to important community issues, her message was simple: great writing helps us become better neighbors.

She also offered a thoughtful perspective on AI: use it as a tool, but don't let it replace creativity, judgment, or human connection.

Her closing poem, Faith, reminded us that while technology can do amazing things, it cannot replace the uniquely human experiences that define our lives.
