Webinars: 1-hour virtual events on a specific topic from a subject matter expert. This is a presentation format with an opportunity to ask questions of the presenter.

Conversations on the Lido Deck: 45-minute virtual sessions designed to foster meaningful discussion on trending topics, best practices, and innovative ideas. Each session features a panel of experts who lead the conversation, share their experiences, and invite participants to engage in an open dialogue.

Join us on the Lido Deck for an interactive, open-forum conversation designed to go beyond theory and into real-world practice. This session invites participants to explore a range of approaches, weigh key considerations, and share insights on implementation strategies in a collaborative setting.

Rather than a traditional presentation, this is your space to:

Exchange ideas and experiences with colleagues
Discuss practical options and decision-making factors
Explore what implementation looks like across different campuses
Ask questions and gain perspective from peers and experts in the field
