The Tipping Point
Nancy Margulies, Mindscapes
& Julie Gieseke, map the mind

In the final session of the conference Nancy and Julie will lead a highly interactive game that will enable us to identify the ways in which the future of our profession might evolve or "Tip" to become more widespread, more integrated into group experiences, have a greater impact on our world. We will explore the possibilities and then deepen the exploration via small group conversation and group graphics. The result will be a vision of our possible future and a sense of next steps for each of us.

Attendees will learn:
	Understand the concept and potential of "Tipping Points"
	Uncover together the ways in which our profession can meet the needs of the world.
	Explore specific actions we can take to grow our careers and move closer to a desired future.
