What is a mini-session?

The 30-minute mini sessions are designed to provide CAEP Summit 2024 attendees an opportunity to drop in to a Zoom room and ask a leading content person (people) "how to" apply information related to the topic area at the consortium and local area. The lead content person will not present - rather engage in conversation and demonstrations on how to apply the topic area at the consortium and local level.

What is a Jam Session?

This year, at the CAEP Summit, our traditional "networking social" has been redesigned into 60 minute "jam sessions." The purpose of a jam session is for attendees to come, ready to discuss and exchange ideas based on a predetermined topic. In this highly interactive session, attendees will engage with colleagues on the identified topics, and leave with new found knowledge and strategies and the feeling of empowerment to ACT!
