The best part of a conference this large is the variety of things to do. Beware of the trap of looking for topics or speakers that seem most connected to your current job or setting. Of course you want to learn as much as you can that will be immediately applicable back home, but don’t miss the opportunity to sample something totally different, too. Seek out sessions that—at first glance—do not appear “relevant” to you now and give them a try. You may be surprised!

Join us at this year’s conference to immerse yourself in service and all that it has to offer. One group of sessions happening during the conference - Immersion Learning Sessions - offer conference participants the opportunity to venture into New York City for first-hand learning experiences. While visiting locations where service happens everyday, you can intensively explore issues alongside local leaders and topic experts. These sessions provide an opportunity to see service in action in New York City!
