Creating Connections: Meaningful Meetings and Great Gatherings

Too often, our meetings and gatherings are unproductive and dull. They follow a standard, repeatable format and neglect the needs of the individual humans involved. This interactive session engaged participants to experiment with a human-centered, business-oriented approach. It sought to change how participants might approach future meetings, conferences, candidate visits, lecture series, and other department events.

This session was held in person; no recording is available but the presentation slides are available here.
