Call for Engage and Exchange Facilitators
Deadline: February 22
Engage and Exchange is a fast-paced, informal, and highly interactive collaborative learning environment. The goal is to foster peer-to-peer networking and education, with attendees exchanging best practices and finding solutions to common challenges.

Format
- Engage and Exchange (E&E) sessions are 60 minutes to an audience of no more than 50 people, with content focused on case studies and solving real-world problems in a collaborative environment.
- It will take place in a dynamic workspace within the Exhibit Hall, during exhibit hours.
- Facilitators will be responsible for encouraging participants to recall and analyze information, share their personal experiences, draw conclusions, and/or practice new skills.

- Facilitators will begin with a 10-15 minute presentation that is followed by 30 minutes of dedicated small group discussion (breakout groups) and concludes with 15-20 minutes of sharing and open discussion.
- Facilitators must adhere to DIA guidelines (see Program Development Guidelines and DIA Policy Concerning Promotion of Products and Services from the Podium at DIA-Sponsored Programs), as well as to manage the E&E session.
