Building Conferences that Connect -- Tuesday June 17, 2025, at 12:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM CT / 9:30 AM PT / 60 minutes online Many conferences can feel like a grind -- for planners and participants alike. In this hands-on session that's geared for people who plan or manage conferences, we’ll explore why so many events under-deliver on engagement, learning, and connection. Then we’ll roll up our sleeves and work together to build better ones. Using a mix of Liberating Structures and other proven conference engagement tactics and hacks, you’ll identify pain points and leave with actionable takeaways to make your next event more human, connected, and memorable. Register for this June 17th event on Event Brite. |

Short and Fun Networking Workshop -- July 17, 2025 / Shoreview, Minnesota Networking can connect us with people, knowledge and resources we wouldn't find on our own. At its best, networking creates webs of trusting relationships that benefit everyone involved. But many of us struggle to network effectively. And how we network can actually turn people off! Join us on July 17th to practice microskills of networking that will both help others (and ourselves!) feel at ease and will grow our networks in a healthy way. Led by Barb Bickford, who has finally overcome her fear of networking. Offered by the Minnesota Organizational Development Network (MNODN) for members and others interested in organizational development. Register soon on the MNODN events page. |
