The Audience Expectations
We love an interactive session. But we also understand that social batteries are limited. We are going to try and make the session cognitively easy, but would love the attendees to engage in whatever way is possible.
Additionally, respect and inclusion are important for us and we are all responsible for creating a fun and safe learning space.
Note: This is not a sponsored event by any of the tools that we talk about.
