The 2020 GIA Remix’d Convening Roundtables
Each day of the GIA Virtual Convening, Power, Practice, Resilience | Remix’d, we will have the opportunity for participants to gather in roundtable discussions, generative conversation, and affinity space community building. Even though the hallway meetings and plenary chats will not happen in the same ways as when we are in-person, these roundtable spaces provide the opportunity for real convening, with purpose and connection at the core. To see the full list of offerings over the five days of convening and to register, click here.
