So… How are you going to make the most out of this experience? 
Join Andi and Brian as they reveal their personal strategies for fully embracing this year’s theme of Connecting Minds. Empowering Futures. Together we will analyze how the sights, the sounds, and the “feels” of real connection can be transformative for you as participants and for your learners when you get back home.
