"There are two kinds of people in the world: complicators and simplifiers. Let’s get behind some simple ways to make our city better." Simple yet such impactful words from Mayor @Mike_Rawlings who kicked off our opening session today. #dfoi2018

"We need to have a spirit of inclusiveness that everyone is welcome in our city. How we treat others is as important as how we treat ourselves, and vice versa." Sound bites from @Mike_Rawlings at the festival's opening session today. #dfoi2018 #connectedcity
