This year our conference focuses on thinking beyond pandemic pivoting, to having conversations about how we are not only being responsive to the moment we are in, but how we are continuing to innovate and continuing to develop and sustain new ways of working. Join us for Disruption and Transformation, our theme of the 2022 Virtual Conference, October 25-27.
