For this celebration, we also called on radio stations and music com- panies for an update on person- nel and summer releases, along with their suggestions for hot - button topics to be discussed at our next A3 Summit in Boulder in August. Also sig- nifying growth: a new, Extended Grid to allow lit- tle A3 to grow gracefully out of its diapers.
