Program

The symposium program consisted of two types of session:

  • 15 minute practice-sharing sessions – these are seminar-style, and allow participants to quickly identify and learn from others’ innovations
  • 45 minute unconference-style
    workshop sessions – these allow participants to work on something in an active and collaborative deep-dive into a particular topic, walking away with something concrete and tangible for their own practice
