A conversation will follow with nonprofit leaders Fred Brown, President & CEO of The Forbes Funds, and Anne Gingerich, Executive Director of PANO, on how this data is showing up in PA. How to Be Together Apart | Wednesday, October 28, 9:00-10:05 AM As the world shifts to physical distancing during the coronavirus pan- demic, the practical questions about gatherings—”Should we postpone or switch to a virtual event?” — are quickly transforming into spiritual ones—”Is this needed? Who is it for? And who gets to decide?”. In this fireside-chat style conversation with Priya Parker, master facilitator, strategic advisor, acclaimed author of The Art of Gathering, and execu- tive producer/host of the NY Times podcast Together Apart, we’ll un- pack how to invent creative, meaningful ways of being apart to provide comfort, create rituals, and foster togetherness during unpredictable times. All attendees will get a FREE copy of The Art of Gathering! Thanks to our Accessibility Sponsors, both keynotes will be closed captioned! Workshops. 6 Tracks. 37 Speakers. 24 Workshops. 1 Deep Dive.
