The Collaboration Conference 2015

During these facilitated conversations, you will hear and learn from peer practitioners — from foundations and other sectors — who work together in formal collaborations, informal partnerships or other collective efforts. Each pair of speakers will offer context-setting remarks about the ins and outs of their collaboration. Then, with the help of an outside moderator, you will engage in a candid, participatory conversation about lessons learned, overcoming common collaboration challenges, the impact of these efforts on grantees and more. You will have the opportunity to join two different case study conversations, each lasting 45 minutes. Bring your own experiential knowledge and questions about motivations for coming together, different collaboration structures and roles, and navigating conflicts. Each case study repeats over two rounds, and detailed descriptions can be found in your program on pages 13 – 19. Select one of seven options during each round.

• Round 1: 2:45 – 3:30 p.m.
• Rotate: 3:30 – 3:45 p.m.
• Round 2: 3:45 – 4:30 p.m.
