Networking Breakfasts are guided networking spaces that give attendees the chance to connect around similar passions or interests relevant to education. Attendees meet like-minded people, seek out inspiration, and find collaboration opportunities across a range of topics. Events may be structured as facilitated networking, guided discussions, group activities, and more. These sessions require sign-ups in advance.
Breakout sessions are topic-based sessions. These sessions come in multiple formats and they are organized in strands and subtopics to help attendees find sessions of interest.
