INSPIRATION STATION WORKSHOPS

Inspiration Station workshops are 45-minute round table sessions and an informal way to bring together a small group to share perspectives about specific area(s) of interest. Facilitating an Inspiration Station workshop is a great opportunity to share best practices, discuss new ideas, get feedback through a focus group, or offer a Make-It, Take-It session. There is NO COST to facilitate an Inspiration Station workshop. Inspiration Station workshops can accommodate a maximum of 8-10 attendees and are held adjacent to the Convention Center lobby. 

Participating in an Inspiration Station is an opportunity to learn something new, outside the traditional workshop setting, and to join groups of your peers who share similar challenges, questions, and ideas that you have. It's a great chance to build connections and create opportunities for collaboration.

The annual deadline to submit an Inspiration Station workshop application is January 31st.
