Get creative with your session format<\/em><\/h2>\n

The ONA19 Suggestion Box<\/a>, open Feb. 26 \u2013 March 21, is your opportunity to pitch session ideas and presenters.<\/p>\n

Event designers are learning that most adults prefer a more interactive environment, rather than a passive one. Sometimes, attendees do want the opportunity to lean back and hear some big ideas. But on the whole, most people prefer a chance to create something, or share and reflect on their own experiences. At ONA19, we\u2019re aiming to ensure that most sessions are interactive. We\u2019ll have a variety of sessions, but less space will be dedicated to passive lectures or panels.<\/p>\n

For inspiration, here are a variety of session formats, organized from more interactive to more passive, including examples from recent ONA events. Feel free to experiment; you may even have your own creative format in mind.<\/p>\n
