35th Annual Conference

March 27-29, 2023

 

The Forum Marketplace of Ideas

The Forum Marketplace, sponsored by Bayer, is host to multiple spaces and places to connect with others and reflect on the days’ activities. Created in the spirit of ancient community spaces, the Marketplace is a hub where participants can come together to download what they’ve learned, exchange ideas, and gather inspiration.

Make time to visit with exhibitors, meet-up and network with peers, attend a book reading, peruse the arts gallery, and attend a mindfulness session. Before you go, add your commitment to the community mural — what will you do to move from talk to action?
