Imagine Convergence has been created to be much more than a single day of presentations and exhibits; it was envisioned as an immersive experience that would allow attendees to discover new information, form lasting relationships with others who share similar interests, and develop their potential for creativity, innovation, personal growth, and community contributions.
Imagine Convergence will include a variety of creative formats including: engaging presentations, hands-on, interactive workshops, artistic expression, wellness activities and collaborative discussions to allow attendees to create new knowledge, build and strengthen networks and make meaningful contributions to both themselves and their communities.
Each of our Keynote Speakers is a leader or expert in education, innovation, art, research, community development or change making; they present their own experiences and views about various aspects of how we live, are connected to our communities and will be developing as individuals and as communities into the future.
Our attendees receive new information and understanding about current and emerging issues, people's creative capacities, different types of leadership, creating sustainable systems and generating positive social impacts.
The goal of our workshops is that they will allow participants to engage with each other as well as to learn and grow personally and professionally through an interactive experience. We want the workshops to encourage creative expression, provide opportunities for skill building, support a deeper understanding of topics or ideas presented, create a platform for discussion and collaboration among participants, and foster a sense of belonging and connection to others.
We offer a variety of workshop options, such as those focused on creativity, wellness, communication, leadership, innovation, and community engagement.
Panel discussions will combine the views of numerous industry professionals and thought leaders on the issues that are most pressing for society today. This allows for an open exchange of viewpoints among the panelists and other attendees which is likely to promote additional knowledge and new ideas through the process of sharing insights with one another.
Through panel discussions, it is possible to provide participants with a forum to think critically about their thoughts, share them in a respectful manner, and gain a better understanding of some of the major challenges facing us as well as many of the opportunities we have available to use to help address these challenges.
Panel Discussion Topics
