The document discusses how to design effective learning experiences for faculty at conferences and meetings. It provides five principles for developing faculty: 1) design a learning experience with engagement, exploration, explanation, elaboration and evaluation; 2) design for the venue; 3) use visuals that deepen learning; 4) access expertise in the room; and 5) make learning stick through strategies like reflection and application. The document encourages starting small, revisiting call for proposals, considering session formats, offering faculty development, and designing experiences to meet learning objectives.

Who are our faculty? How do we communicate expectations?
How are we equipping faculty to design an effective learning experience?
Where can we begin? What considerations can we adapt and apply within our own context?
