Innovations in Collaboration and Conflict Resolution: Skills Enrichment Institute

July 28-30, 2010
Four Seasons Hotel, Austin

Join a diverse group of conflict resolution professionals and academicians for insightful learning and discussion on the banks of the Lady Bird Lake in
downtown Austin. This dynamic skill-building program allows participants to
choose either two one-day tracks, or one intensive two-day track. In
addition, the program fosters opportunities to form a variety of connections
including small topical discussion groups and an opening reception. The
selected tracks showcase prominent trainers and represent the latest advances
in the field. Participants will learn to integrate innovative techniques into
their work, while the setting provides a congenial atmosphere for deliberate
thought and dialogue among colleagues and recognized leaders in the field. We
look forward to seeing you this summer!
