Greetings, EI SIG Members!
And HERE is the link to the summary template.
We hope you are excited about next week's DEC Conference in Portland, OR.
Remember, there's still time to register online if you haven't already.

This year, we are trying something new to help capitalize
on the many insights we collectively gain from conference sessions (and
to inform those unable to attend).
We would like to invite those of you attending to participate in an informal information-sharing
discussion online after the conference (schedule to be
decided later). We are providing a summary template that you can take
with you to the session(s) you attend, so that you can take notes that
you can later share with other EI SIG members.
If you anticipate being able/willing to bring the below summary
template with you to the conference to fill out and share with us post
conference, please give us a heads up by sharing your preferred
session(s) on the Google Form HERE so that we can determine the level of interest and number of volunteers who are willing to share. You may view the conference program HERE.
-- If you want to bring a copy with you to the conference, even if
you're not sure yet which session you'll be summarizing, that works
too! Feel
free to print copies of the Google Doc summary template to take with you to the conference.
After the conference is over, the EI SIG Co-Leaders will review completed
session summaries. We will arrange meeting times that work best for those who have completed the forms and expressed willingness to verbally share during the web discussion -- this will be a casual online meeting for fellow
EI SIG members to share insights/ lessons
learned with one another!
Please note that the post-conference
online meeting is not meant for presenters to do a "repeat" of the session they presented; rather it is
intended for conference attendees to share information and support each other's application/implementation of new knowledge.
If you're planning to give us a heads up about the session you will
be summarizing, please do so on the above Google Form by Monday, 10/2. We understand that there may be some overlap (with more than one person interested in going to the same session) - this is ok! The more perspectives, the better.
Please remember to print/bring a copy of the summary template with you if you want
to share noteworthy insights when attending a session next week at DEC. We
ask that you email your summaries to us the week after the conference (Friday, October 13) so that we can schedule the online meeting sooner rather than later.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
Please share this information with your colleagues or contacts attending the conference who may not be active members of the EI SIG.
