Conference Sessions

2022 Overview of Conference Sessions

Types of Offered Sessions

  • Leadership Snapshots – Brief sessions where presenters shared their story as it relates to this year’s conference theme, of lessons learned as a leader. 20 minutes. Offered during the second block of sessions.
     
  • Leader Lessons – Quick and focused sessions addressing one core principle or concept. 45 minutes. Offered in all three blocks of sessions.
     
  • Leadership Labs – In-depth session incorporating applied practice or multi-faceted or transformative activities. 100 minutes. Offered in the first and third block of sessions.
  • The Reset Room (self-directed) - Enjoy a quiet and comfortable space for self-reflection. The Reset Room was  available during each conference session timeframe with a variety of materials at hands-on reflection stations to help you reset and reboot yourself as a leader through creative interpretation. Whether it is a visual representation, written expression, or doodles, students had the opportunity to work out their thoughts, ideas and plan of action while sharing their creation with other conference attendees. There were facilitators in the room for guidance, but the space was really driven by attending students. Available in all three blocks of sessions.

Following the all-attendee Conference Welcome, a variety of different types of sessions and topics related to the conference theme of “Reset, Reconnect, Reignite” were available for attendees to select from throughout the day.
