As the Strategic Education Team Leader, one of my volunteer positions for the COMMON organization, it is always rewarding to come up with new education offerings. The NAViGATE conference is just that! When we as an education team came up with the idea for the conference, we discussed the realities of virtual conference overload. This allowed us to brainstorm and come up with a new format for this education offering.
All sessions are 20 minutes in length and are organized into consecutive blocks of sessions. At the end of each block there is a session called “Office Hours”. These “Office Hours” sessions allow attendees to ask questions about the sessions in the block and to have one-on-one time with the expert that delivered the bulk of the sessions in the education block.
I will be presenting a block of Domino and Sametime sessions that are followed by an “Office Hours” session. Below are the sessions in the block that I will be presenting:
