(Denver, CO) On July 12, 2007 Logan and Laurie Olson of Spokane, WA took the stage at the Microsoft’s Worldwide Partners Conference in Denver, CO. Over 10,000 Microsoft partners had assembled there from around the world to listen to a keynote presentation by Microsoft COO Kevin Turner.

Logan Olson sustained a brain injury 6 years ago at the age of 16. Throughout her recovery, she dreamed of a resource for young people desiring to live vital lives inspite of their disabilities. Her dream became Logan Magazine, a full-color fashion and lifestyle magazine that has garnered nationwide attention.

Turner closed the Microsoft conference on Thursday by showing a video telling the story of Logan and her magazine. The video was shot at the Olson home in Spokane and in the offices of Klundt | Hosmer, the design firm in charge of producing the magazine and website. http://www.klundthosmer.com

Following the video, Turner introduced Logan and Laurie and had them come on stage to speak to the attendees. Logan received two standing ovations for her inspirational story and her experience with using Windows® Vista speech recognition software to assist her in managing and editing the magazine.  

Logan and Klundt | Hosmer are currently producing the third issue of the publication.
