Affinity Groups let you connect with other attendees from your community to share lived experiences in the education space, network, build relationships and share unique perspectives. These sessions will move with the needs of the group, providing an organic space to share and learn from each other.
After the conference, continue to network with your community online in Connect (ASCD + ISTE).
