We’re inviting senior leaders and their trusted advisors (see examples below) for a chance to learn new things, collaborate, and network with us in Orlando, FL this fall.
Prior to joining our larger community at OLC Accelerate (November 15-17), the first annual OLC Leadership Symposium will convene the trailblazers and other influential voices in our field to discuss and debate our digital learning futures.
This one-day highly collaborative event is tailored for senior leaders to determine where we should collectively focus our attention in best addressing the ubiquitous challenges and promising opportunities for creating equitable, inclusive and quality online and blended education. The Leadership Network Symposium was inspired by the success of our previous Leadership Network events and requests from senior leaders for a dedicated meeting space.
The price of the symposium also includes a one-year membership in the OLC Leadership Network, with access to exclusive events, reports, publications, and networking opportunities from Nov 2022 – Nov 2023.
To encourage active dialogue and actionable next steps, registration will be limited to no more than 150 participants.
Tracks in the symposium will include:
- Marketing & Enrollment: Welcome students to new opportunities to learn and ensure they are adequately prepared to select a learning experience that best fits their needs and interests.
- Digital Strategy: Design best practice learning experiences by selecting tools and approaches.
- Workforce Education: Let the new ideas settle and build excitement among staff.
- Equitable and Inclusive Digital Learning Leadership: Peel off the layers and ensure the strategies deployed are equitable and inclusive.
- Emerging Leaders: See what others have created and decide what can and should be mixed in with your own strategies.
