Will and Damus weren't booted from the stage. In fact, from the very beginning talks, when we were working on the program, we had Will on the panel. Will decided he did not want to participate on his own. He felt that people were buying main stage talks. He didn't like how the packaging of booth and stage content were merged together. I was actually saddened by this. I had been speaking to Vanessa and trying to get him to come and have him participate in all of it. On a side note, I specifically remember one video call where @miljan said "c'mon, it's Will, if course we have to have him in stage for this panel." Sadly, I just couldn't make everyone happy. I tried my hardest. As for comments about Damus or Will at dinner, that wasn't a dinner I was at or heard. Will is my dude and will always be my dude. 🫂🫂🫂
