Let’s be honest… we are all freaking out, but if we’re going to freak out, we might as well do it over a great cocktail.
Alaska World Affairs Council and the Petroleum Club of Anchorage team up to give you an evening of dynamic discussion as a panel of experts share their knowledge and insights on the developing global impact of COVID-19.
