Virtual Speed Networking Lounge: Looking To The Future - Breakout Collaboration
Brief Abstract
While we don’t have a crystal ball, we can take what we’ve learned and experienced as we look towards the future. Let’s talk about it! Some questions we might address:
- If you knew today that COVID-19 was coming, what would be your plan?
- What will Fall 2022 education look like?
- What was missing/what new technology is needed?
- What new best practices have you implemented?
