Come join other conference attendees online and learn how to create an OLC Innovate game plan. During this power hour, you’ll have the chance to organize your Week 2 conference schedule and select presentations and activities you want to attend. The OLC Field Guides will be there to suggest interesting presentations and virtual social activities, train you on the use of the OLC Innovate Virtual conference venue and website, and point out Engagement Maps designed to help with your program planning. We’ll also discuss ways to participate in virtual chats during the conference via Slack. Meet up virtually with old friends, make new acquaintances, and plan your schedule while you grab some lunch between sessions - all in the comfort of your home.
