Opening keynote and awards recognition general sessions
Two general sessions, the opening session (which includes lunch!) and the awards recognition tea, will help you learn how to tell more effective stories and survive change with humor and laughter. Read more about the opening keynote speaker, Dr. Jenn Nichols, and the awards recognition presenter, Lois McElravy.
Concurrent sessions: Nuggets and Workshops
Concurrent sessions are held on both days and include both
25-minute nugget sessions and 75-minute workshops. Everyone knows what a workshop session is, but what is a Nugget session? Nugget sessions are:
- Short 25-minute sessions
- Presented twice during a 75-minute concurrent session period
- Held in one of four tents located in the two exhibit halls
Each nugget session will be presented during the first and last 25 minutes of the current session period. See the conference quick guide for nuggets to read up on these 16 sessions. And yes there also are quick guides listing the 94 workshop sessions: day one workshop sessions and day two workshop sessions.
