Inspiration Stations are an informal way to bring a group of participants together for an in-depth conversation and to share perspectives about specific area(s) of interest or specific ideas.
Joining an Inspiration Station is a chance to learn something new, outside the traditional workshop setting, and to join groups of your peers who share similar challenges or questions that you have. It's a great chance to build connections and create opportunities for collaboration.
Hosting an inspiration station is a great opportunity to share best practices, new ideas, or get feedback. To host, you must submit an application for an Inspiraiton Station. Each Inspiration Station will be chaired by a designated person and offer explorations aligned with the BOOST Conference core values:
