Connection 2014

Baltimore, MD | 9.9. 2014

The Admiral Fell Inn

 

It wasn't just an event, it was an experience. Connection 2014 was about everyone who was in the room. The relaxed atmosphere encouraged creative conversations about the topics that matter most in our field today.

What made the speakers so incredible? The diversity of topics that speakers addressed added breadth and depth to the conversations people had during the Building Connection breaks. Quick and fast-paced, speakers challenged, inspired, moved, and many times, entertained Connection participants. “All of the speakers were fantastic! Their enthusiasm and passion for the work they do was evident and kept the audience engaged.”        

What did participants think?

“Thought it had a great flow and loved the more laid back feeling. The speakers were really engaging and I found myself really looking forward to hearing what each was going to talk about. Several speakers in a session helped keep things upbeat and energetic. The longer breaks were nice - helped keep energy up.” “I appreciate the excellence and enthusiasm that went into the Connection conference. It was strategically thought out and executed. Speakers represented a spectrum of diverse knowledge, issues and trends in the field, provided practical tools for leadership and service, and were knowledgeable of the youth we serve and strategies to positively impact their lives. The culmination of featuring the youth at the end brought it all together and made it all make sense. It was a great reminder of the purpose of our business....why we do what we do. The networking opportunities were great for gaining insights on what others are doing in the field and for speaking with other experts who 'get it.' It was a great meeting of the minds and an encouragement that we are not in it alone - we share similar challenges and successes.” What else should we know about Connection 2014?
