Join GPB Education and Discovery Education for a special event
We cordially invite you to Ignite Your Passion for Innovation, a powerful evening of networking and concise, energizing presentations combined with engaging conversations. For this event, we are asking, "What is Innovation?" Each presenter will be sharing in the Ignite format which is a 5-minute presentation that features 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds. It's a fast-paced format to be sure. Each presentation will also end with a question that is intended to spark your curiosity and provoke conversation. Along with this format, you'll have a chance to network and interact with fellow educators. The evening is sponsored by GPB Education and Discovery Education. The event is free for Georgia educators and takes place on August 25 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the GPB headquarters in Atlanta. Refreshments will be provided.
