Schedule
We’ve the 2016 program dynamically and in collaboration with the advisors and registrants, as we did for last year’s symposium. This process ensures that the content of the symposium is as tightly aligned with your current and emerging needs as possible—a claim very few other events can credibly make. View the 2016 symposium schedule.
In addition to the events and learning activities described in the schedule, such as Content Pods™ (short, focused content presentations) and App Labs™ (in-depth applied-learning opportunities, in which attendees work collaboratively with peers and faculty members to solve a problem or develop innovative approaches to situations highly relevant to their everyday work), we anticipate adding extemporaneous program items. A hot seat allows an attendee to present a challenge or opportunity she’s facing to the group and get rapid feedback and advice. Ten-minute talks provide a structured way for attendees to share about a learning project or initiative that may offer other learners ideas to apply in their own organizations.
