Conference Day Outline

Over the course of an entire day, together, we’ll set our sights on the future.

We’ll move from one-on-one relationship building to small group discussions on the conference community’s dreams for the future.

We’ll end the day in groups large and small, where participants self-select to focus on the issues that they are most passionate about.

Using an appreciative inquiry model, the program is guided by two facilitators, while the conference community produces the action and discussion with the support of a large team of small group facilitators.
