*is built around conversation, and the event's six facilitator-led sessions
are where that conversation goes deepest. In candid discussions with peers
who understand your day-to-day reality, you will move beyond presentations
to focus on what is working, what is not, and what comes next.



These conversations are designed to slow things down and invite deeper

learn from colleagues facing similar challenges, and leave with practical
strategies you can put into action right away.
