Analyst and Associate Participation – New Format and Program
The Winter Forum is continuing its effort to provide learning opportunities to the staff of CIO members who are attending the Winter Forum. We have designed a Saturday afternoon program for a limited number of analysts/associates. In response to the feedback from last year we have incorporated a networking component allowing participants to interact prior to the learning component. This will allow attendees to meet new participants and to re-engage with peers before formal sessions begin, which will allow for a greater sense of camaraderie over your days with us in Scottsdale. Prior registration is required. Please note the program timeline as follows:
Preliminary Schedule:
3:00pm – 3:15pm Welcome and Session Opening – Alan Harris
3:15pm – 4:00pm Peer Networking / Meet & Greet
Attendees will have the opportunity for an Informal Meet & Greet with peers in a special Hospitality Suite. Special access will also be provided for our group at the Native American Learning Center. Attendees may explore the museum and return to the hospitality suite at leisure while mingling with peers.
