LEARNING LABS (WORKSHOPS)

The 2023 National Convention Learning Labs – known to some as workshops – are where more than 1,500 attendees gather throughout each day to exchange knowledge, resources, best practices, strategies, inspire innovation and more. Learning Lab attendees expect educational experiences during the Convention that challenge them as learners, charge them as brothers and broaden their understanding of the Fraternity, their role in it and how it adds value to chapters, as well as their personal and professional skillset. 

In order to create a valuable and memorable educational experience for attendees, the Fraternity needs our talented and experienced member base to submit Learning Lab Proposals that they have the experience and/or expertise to facilitate at the 2023 National Convention. 

 

At this time, the Fraternity is no longer accepting learning lab proposals.
