Innogizers

Due to the continuing success of the Innogizer series, this feature will be offered again in 2008. These innovative sessions are designed to energize you at the end of a long conference day. Just when you thought you couldn’t absorb one more fact, sit through one more session, or learn anything new— Innogizers will revitalize your ability to engage and learn.

Learning Labs

Learning Labs were very well-received in 2007 and are being offered again with the addition of industry groups on one day and target audience groups on another. Learning Labs are designed to provide an informal learning opportunity and a time to integrate learning in response to your feedback. These Labs will be held between sessions and will be guided by a trained facilitator to open the discussion and keep it on track. Each Lab will be 45 minutes long. A wiki will be provided before the conference to stimulate and record the discussion.
