At many conferences, the most productive part is the break-time hallway discussions. Essentially, this whole day will be about those informal visits. It will be a day of meaning, camaraderie, and fun.
WHAT ACTIONS WILL TAKE PLACE THIS DAY?
We will help each other move forward with our businesses, communities, or organizations through large and small group networking sessions. Pake McNally will show us some Ju Jitsu workout equipment that he makes and we'll give him marketing ideas. Those wanting to have trails in their town will see and learn how they can utilize a "Trail in a Box". Experienced trail makers will share advice. There will be stand-up networking and "sticky-note wall work". A closing speaker will wrap up the day. There will be a positive atmosphere and you will have opportunity for your voice to be heard. We will have healthy food, Swedish Kringler, and yummy cookies.
Your action will be to take advantage of numerous networks that can offer you support.
