Now is the time to look at our inclusive future. The 2019 INFD embraces the history of the field of educational development in higher education with a focus on our inclusive future. Participants will attend sessions on practical application with a focus on emerging inclusive best practices and technology. Each session is geared at building skills in educational development from consulting to event planning and beyond.

Participants will reflect on their own critical practices, have the opportunity to network with colleagues, create mentoring relationships with dedicated practitioners, and develop a program action plan to take back to their campus.

The event ends with a reception at the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, home of the first Woolworth Sit-ins.
