> 
> Starr Roxanne Hiltz and Murray Turoff continue to actively contribute

> published in 1978 and updated in 1993, has been hailed as a landmark, 
> visionary publication.  This festschrift will both honor their 
> contributions upon retirement from their full-time academic positions 
> and explore how their legacy will continue to influence research and 
> societal developments in the decades to come.
> 
> The festschrift includes keynote and research presentations, numerous 
> opportunities to socialize and network, and a dinner at which people 
> can relate stories about working with Roxanne and Murray, and their 
> ideas. A special journal issue will follow.

> to express their good wishes to Roxanne and Murray online.
