Educational Displays
Formerly passive programs, educational displays are very similar to educational sessions, but there is no presenter at the display or when being evaluated.
These can be bulletin boards, posters, paintings, or anything that explains and displays a message that you feel is important to communicate to other conference members. These messages may include sustainability, diversity, inclusion, leadership, and more.
