Self-organized Conversation:

During the Thursday afternoon we’ll create the agenda together in real-time for small group discussions that accelerate change and practice in our field. You’ll have the chance to invite others to join you in exploring an idea, question, or sharing learnings and stories from your experiences (especially during this unique time of COVID), and then we’ll use some nifty Zoom technology to be able to go to the conversations you want to contribute and learn. Often a favourite part of a conference are the conversations that happen at coffee break and lunch; this is that valuable chance for sharing and connecting with your peers and activating the wisdom of this whole network! Come ready with a question or topic, or to jump into a conversation to offer what you can.
