Building Community

Virtual Summit

• With two exceptions, this program is for virtual participation, not hybrid.  Virtual means that interaction between in-person and virtual attendees does not happen as it would in a true hybrid situation, and thus the virtual and in-person schedules do not mirror one another.

• This difference provides a more meaningful virtual experience so that participants are not left with Zoom fatigue after two days, and actually have a couple of different, and creative ways to participate over the course of the Summit.

• Technology in an uncontrolled, large conference setting is tenuous.  We are planning for contingencies to provide virtual participants with the best experience possible, but we will all rely on some grace as we work through this creative process. 

• Not all links are posted below but will be made available prior to each session; this Virtual Program is for pre-registered participants only; please help us keep the quality of this program by not sharing links or passwords.

Virtual participants will be able to brainstorm specific actions for each goal.

Participants will need to be self-directed after guidance from the facilitator.  EasyRetro/Trello boards will be pre-loaded with directions as well as with the prompts being used in the in-person breakout rooms.  Any “experts-on-tap” not at the in-person Summit will be available to help in specific rooms.
