Attend the Region 1 Unconference!
The NNLM Region 1 invites you to attend its first unconference! An unconference is a participant-oriented event where attendees structure the interactions, emphasizing conversations over formal presentations. The emphasis is on interaction between attendees and the discussions which emerge when participants are given an opportunity to engage with each other on topics of interest
The goals of the symposium are to:
- Deepen our understanding of what our members are doing related to NNLM initiatives.
- Speak with others interested in these themes and share local best practices and solutions.
- Make meaningful connections with others passionate about the topics.
- View the NNLM as a space vested in addressing health misinformation, bridging the digital divide, environmental determinants of health, and research data management.
Each day will focus on one NNLM National Initiative:
- December 5, 2023 | 11:00 - 12:30 PM ET - Engaging Communities with Health Information
- December 6, 2023 | 11:00 - 12:30 PM ET - Bridging the Digital Divide
