Friday, April 29, at BIQ
Workshops for Professionals
Check-in for Friday will be between 8 and 9am, with a continental breakast. Lunch on Friday will also be with the Conference. We usually finish up around 4pm, but sometimes discussions go on into dinner!
In keeping with the theme of the weekend, a major focus of our discussions will deal with the notions of learning styles and how they affect professionals. We’ll explore our own and those of our charges – and what is and is not within our domain to address.
Rather than setting up a fixed structure for our day, we will engage in discussions, varying large and small group interaction based on the needs and interests of our attendees. This permits us to address individual questions more effectively than the standard presentation model seems to.
Let us know your interests!
