What if we offered larger giveaways, PD Points and lunch/refreshments to encourage attendance (as a form of compensation or an incentive to consider attending)?

We could also ask ELT/Learning Team Leadership & School Leaders to encourage their staff to attend (district leaders could be key ambassadors for the Summit and we could recognize them as event champions)?

virtual options to increase possible attendance

# data[].attributes.body
what data are we using to inform decisions? e.g., topic prioritization, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
backup plans if the attendance is minimal

Since it's all employees, definitely finding a way to connect day-to-day roles to the mission, so everyone sees their contribution as part of the overall bigger picture.

# data[].attributes.body
Do we need to consider a staff committee to help us ideate and plan?

# data[].attributes.body
We need to keep in mind how the work being done during sessions aligns to all personnel present. Connections need to be made clear.

A day in the life - pairing new hires with experienced and passionate ones from the various roles/backgrounds - a mentoring/supportive vibe

# data[].attributes.body
Will we allow IPS partners/vendors to be present?

# data[].attributes.body
do we consider bringing in topic experts from IDOE to present?

# data[].attributes.body
Beyond content/topic sessions think about carving out time for 'meet and greets' (among different staff groups) or panels for Q&A... this can promote community and connection.

# data[].attributes.body
We can not try to be all things to all people. We should keep it simple and at the same time try to make it applicable to everyone. For example, building a culture of trust (with families, students, staff,) is something that can touch on multiple roles. Within the presentation it could be differentiated based on sitting with folks with similar roles. (This is not a super example, but you get the drift).

# data[].attributes.body
some might ask if sessions will be recorded

# data[].attributes.body
Is there any consideration to survey staff on what they would come out for - considering they are not being paid - before all this work is done and there is minimal participation

# data[].attributes.body
Sessions that give really world applicable ideas, strategies, and more in all job types.

# data[].attributes.body
Could we partner to make it more of a back to school fest? Meetings / sessions in the AM and bring your family for food and fun in the PM?

# data[].attributes.body
We leverage our best presenters that continuously have high PD Feedback survey results to lead dynamic sessions.

# data[].attributes.body
We have to be very cognizant of the work we are asking of our teams. The ENL team loves to do PD; however, between ENL district PD, innovation school PD, classified launch, and choice sessions we were spread way too thin. More folks need to be tapped to present to the masses.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking for external presenters of sessions - our district staff are facilitating a TON over the summer.

# data[].attributes.body
Ensure all sessions are clearly geared and communicated to people what it's covering. Is it for new to IPS, IPS veterans, certified, classified, etc.

Communicating expectations to all participants and supervisors.

# data[].attributes.body
Team Building Activities in breakout sessions.

# data[].attributes.body
We can not have the summit in a location that is not conductive to adult learning. It has to be at a location that has plenty of parking, space for large groups and breakout sessions.

# data[].attributes.body
If we can't pay people, can we offer some type of PD credit or certification or something?

# data[].attributes.body
How will we distinguish this event from District PD? What is it about this event that makes it worth attending both? What is our value prop?

# data[].attributes.body
Swag + Giveaways should be available.

# data[].attributes.body
Allow participants to leave without a feeling of community and purpose

# data[].attributes.body
Choice Sessions should be offered and aligned to needs identified throughout the year.

# data[].attributes.body
How might we promote the event? How might we incentivize attendance?

# data[].attributes.body
Enticing and innovative sessions/info. Not the same old stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
A combination of skills (google suite, Teams, etc., time management) and information on how to navigate the district (benefits, Let's Talk, School Dude and other support platforms)

# data[].attributes.body
Attendees will be looking for something AI-centric

# data[].attributes.body
Are we going to send out a RSVP to try and get some sort of head count?

# data[].attributes.body
