In addition to presentations by all the authors, this year's conference will feature many of the learning experiences we have offered in the past, including Open Space Dialogues, Lightning Round (6 minute presentations by practitioners with cool new ideas), panel discussions, and other opportunities for sharing and learning.
Also, as has taken place in the past, this year's conference will be held at Liberty Hall and the historical Eldridge Hotel in downtown Lawrence. If you are interested in staying at the Eldridge, we strongly advise that you make your reservations soon.
The fee for the conference is $450.00 per participant, and each participant will receive a copy of Perspectives on Coaching.
