Hear from these researchers as they present information followed by an interactive dialogue with attendees to engage them in conversation around the ideas presented.

This dynamic, interactive conversation is designed to engage the audience in sharing their thoughts, ideas, strategies, and perspectives with one another. The presenters serve more like facilitators, briefly introducing a topic and then posing questions to draw the audience into a discussion, actively engaging them in a lively and emerging exchange of viewpoints and ideas. 

This show-and-tell-style session allows presenters to walk through a website or training, physically hold up objects or manipulatives, and introduce resources while generating engagement through these semi-hands-on sessions. This interactive opportunity allows attendees to engage in real time conversation about how to utilize or implement the example, resources, and activities shown.

An interactive conversation to connect attendees with one another around a variety of topic areas. Come learn about what others are already doing or find other attendees who are interested in similar topics, or continue the conversation with presenters in an interactive question and answer environment. Go further in understanding next steps or transferrable concepts. Make connections to take with you after the conclusion of the conference.
