2021 Conference Theme Ideas

During the October 20th Logistics Committee meeting, those present decided to start the discussion of this year's theme by floating words they wanted to help set the tone for the event. The purpose of this thread is to provide a place to brainstorm words that can then be put together to form possible themes. We invite the Conference Program Committee and Users' Group Officers to participate as well. The goal is to generate possible themes, narrow them down to your top 3 by October 30, and then offer those to the Users' Community to select their favorite prior to the call for session proposals going out on November 9.

An initial list of words / phrases from yesterday's meeting:

• Hybrid
• Consciousness
• Aware
• Connections
• Bridging
• Community
• Checking Our Connection

Uniting the KLAS Community

The Bridge to the Future!!!

From Kathy Segers - PROMOTING HARMONY THROUGH STAYING CONNECTED

Here are a couple more ideas:

• Integration & Inspiration
• Celebrate our KLAS Community
• Challenges, Changes & Creativity
• Building Bridges
• #KLASUsers
• Empowering Access
• Innovate & Elevate
• Composing our Future

I really like the idea of Celebrate in there somewhere. It's been a year and I'm sure it will continue to be "a year" for quite awhile to come. Celebrating success and focusing ourselves on positive outcomes, even when navigating a hurdle factory would, in my humble opinion, be a nice way to frame our thought process going into, what is going to prove to be a conference with challenges unlike any other.

Innovate, Elevate, Celebrate

OR
"Get out of our way COVID, We've got work to do."

Additional Suggestions from this afternoon's Logistics Committee meeting:

• From Isolation to Connection
• From Pandemic to Progress
• Innovate, Educate & Celebrate
• Unmasking the Solution
• Finding a Cure
• Connection is the Cure
• Connecting for a Cure

Note: If we do move forward with any referencing the COVID crisis, we need to keep in mind the need to be respectful of the tragedy it has caused for many.
