Netwalking III: Fresh Air & Fresh Ideas in the Sonoran Desert

I.C.E. Exchange Program Description : Netwalking = Networking + walking! ATTENTION: This is not your traditional session! Instead, this is a session with lots of opportunity to network, talk about hot topics, then regroup for the last 15 minutes with some facilitated discussion.

The purpose of this session is to connect you with industry colleagues as you interact in the fresh air of the Sonoran Desert! In addition to networking, you will gain some fresh ideas related to test development, psychometrics, and/or other related topics of interest. This is a perfect opportunity to engage in structured small group conversations and meet new people while strolling the grounds or tucking away in a nook if that’s more your style.

After some initial engagement and interest questions, you will be arranged into small groups based on desired activity level (lounge, stroll, or brisk walk) and topic interest. You will then be sent on your way to explore ideas while discussing two to three structured, provocative industry questions provided by both attendees and the moderators. In addition, each group can decide on their own hot topic if another fresh idea comes up while walking and talking. We will all start at the same location and will have a debrief session in the same room at the end of the walk. This will allow attendees to share what they heard, saw, and learned.
