Quick Connects
In 2018, we are launching something new for MANTLE.
What is it all about?
Introducing ‘Quick Connects’ – an opportunity for presenters to share some of their experiences in a relaxed and casual forum.
How will it work?
Each session will be divided into three shorter mini-sessions of 10 minutes each. This means that each presenter will present the same information three times.
On the day, delegates will choose who they would like to ‘visit’. Each presenter will be set up at a table with their own laptop and some chairs.
The format will be like a ‘show-and-tell’, where the presenters can engage in casual dialogue with a small audience and share their thoughts and experiences.
Ten tables will be set up, providing ten presenters the opportunity to share their experience(s) around the theme ‘Beyond the Library Walls: Community and Collaboration’.
Please see below for Quick Connect session details.
