Networking Activity In-Person + Virtual A fast, fun and action-packed series of 60 second challenges. Inspired by the TV game show, Win it in A Minute is full of excitement and nail-biting moments as teams battle it out in various and bizarre 60 second challenges. As facilitators reveal each challenge, teams consult among themselves and decide which team member is best suited for the task. Throughout the program facilitators update the points board to let teams know their position. Both in person and virtual teams will play together at the same time for the most integrative, networking experience at the conference! Please select “yes” for the networking activity on the registration form to participate. For Virtual attendees only, you will need to gather the items from the event kit listed below and have them close at hand on the day of the conference when the networking activity takes place, Thursday Sept 12th, at 10:45am.
