The random conversations that happen...

As much as I enjoy the formal presentations, whole group meeting, and conference sessions, I am most impressed by the happenstance conversations that I was a part of during this conference.  This space is like no other.  Many times at conferences I am hesitant to initiate conversations during the transition and more casual times during the conference, but not at this conference.  I have been fortunate to be part of so many amazing conversations that were unplanned.  The set-up of the large conference space was so conducive to sit with people who I don't know, but quickly go to know.  As a first-time WE LEARN participant, this was one of the most empowering parts of the conference for me.
