Geared toward early-career advancement professionals, this pre-conference workshop will kick off a six month cohort-model professional development opportunity that is fully cost inclusive. New to the Profession (NTP) attendees will become immersed in the industry through engaging sessions (at the conference and virtually), self-reflection, and peer learning. The pre-conference session format includes a pre-arrival session via zoom (live and recorded), an introduction to CASE, a DiSCⓇ assessment and an expert led learning experience, networking opportunities, and an informal mentor pairing with a fellow CASE V conference attendee during the conference.
