Icebreaker Session

Not your typical poster session

We're kicking off the Summit with an interactive poster session
created by you.

You’ll be given a standard flip chart paper to work with. You can or use our rudimentary art materials at the icebreaker evening to create something on the spot, or bring some pre-assembled text or artwork to use. Think of it as a playful communication challenge to engage the other folks at the Summit in conversation. Definitely not a formal, scientific poster!

Use your poster to spark conversations about:

• Your favorite examples of how your institution is communicating climate change and the oceans (volunteer training? Greening your institution? Strategic planning? Collaborations? Evaluations?)
• Specific initiatives you'd most like feedback, collaboration or support from others at the 2012 Summit,
• And, for those of you who have accomplished pledges since the Summit in Monterey, we’d love to see a list of those too!

Add your thoughts to other people’s posters via Post-Its

If you see a great idea you want to learn more about—tell them!  If you tried something similar, but had different results- tell them!  If you have a great resource to pass on-- tell them! 

Build a vision of where we’re headed as a Summit Community

The posters will be moved to the conference hotel for the rest of the Summit to keep the conversations growing.  The Summit agenda includes space for small group discussions that grow out of these interactive posters.   Our goal is to use our collective knowledge as a community of institutions and organizations to become an even stronger voice for communicating climate change and the oceans.
