Breakout groups will facilitate deeper attendee discussions and personal connections. We'll also play "Research Bingo”, a fun networking activity. Attendees will have bingo cards with common and purpose-driven research experiences, will search for other attendees who have had those experiences, and identify people who have specific experiences attendees want to learn more about. It's a light-hearted way to break the ice, share stories, continue conversations after the event, and potentially win a donation to their non-profit of choice! This event isn't just about learning from these purpose-driven researchers; it's about building a community of researchers dedicated to leveraging their skills for a greater cause. Whether you're actively seeking a shift towards more meaningful work or just curious about the possibilities, "From Data to Difference" will be engaging and informative.
