About the Carefree Resort
The Carefree Resort was selected for its beauty, great weather in early May, and a layout that provides great support for a highly engaging event inside and outside. Ways that Sloan-C will utilize the Carefree Resort space during the May 7-9, 2008 event include:
- Walks in the Desert With Experts - Take a brisk walk with symposium topic experts and discuss the key topics of the conference while taking in some of the most scenic areas of the resort. The Carefree Resort provides numerous trails to give the perfect setting for an early morning stroll with your colleagues.
- Quick Draw Sessions in the Opera House - This is the wild west, but instead of quick gun slinging, we are slinging key information about the symposium topics in quick 15 minutes sessions. Jump from table to table to get in touch with a variety of topics in a very short time period.
- Informal Second Life Sessions in the Red Horse Saloon - Equipped with 3 large plasma screens linked into the Second Life virtual world, the Red Horse Saloon will provide a place for us to reach into this new educational landscape and chat with colleagues back home or new friends in other areas, while enjoying informal socializing with those of us that are able to make it there in person!
- Town Hall Forum in the Opera House - This town hall meeting is designed to encourage discussion across all of the symposium attendees and tap into our collective wisdom as a group. The meeting will come complete with google jockeys to provide real-time fact checking and Internet research and all discussion notes will be collected and posted overhead and online for later download by attendees.
- And much more...
