The Big Picture: Not One, But Three Grey Rhinos

09/30/2026 | Mehul Davé -- Column: The Big Picture

09/17/2026 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's Musings
I've spent a good deal of time in Asia over the years, both traveling and living there, so arriving in Thailand for THECA wasn't my first experience stepping into another culture or another way of doing business.

An Open Invitation to Standards Development in Paris

09/14/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007

Removing any registration cost clearly removes a barrier to participation at a time when global input into standards development is needed more than ever. An open forum naturally makes it easier for someone who is curious about standards work or has wanted to get involved but hasn’t yet taken the first step to experience the process firsthand, with no risk or expectation.
