Large Decentralized Institutions: The Un-Session. What is an "Un-Session?" The "Un-Session" format was designed to allow attendees to ask their burning questions and connect with like-minded practitioners. Expect skilled facilitators to encourage lively discussions, invite participants to speak their minds, and manage the time the group spends on the discussion of each question. Attendees can prepare for the session by making a list of their questions and coming to the session with an open mind. Participants will also want to bring a notebook and jot down the names of colleagues to stay in touch with after the conference is over.

Looking for a different Un-Session? The other topics to be offered are: Campaign Planning, Climbing Up (Leadership), Healthcare, Large Decentralized Institutions, Membership Organizations, Principal-Level Donors, Virtual Audiences/Social Media, What's Trending? #recognition
