Virtual Collaborate
Experience quarterly Collaborate events where you live
Experience Collaborate events throughout the year, right where you are.
Since 2020, Collaborate has expanded to include virtual format and – without costly travel expenses – allows all Global Networks to attend, participate and speak into CAFO’s projects impacting your communities.
Retaining all of the benefits of growing together, the virtual Collaborate experience features virtual environments for learning, discussing and brainstorming.
How it works
The three sessions of each Virtual Collaborate series include:
Learn
During these key topic presentations hosted via Zoom, invited speakers cover best practices or key points through lecture/presentation, panel discussions, or live interviews. Audience interaction occurs through polls, chat and Q&A.
Discuss
During these facilitated discussions via Zoom, trained facilitators lead small group discussions with identified goals. After the small group discussions, the attendees are brought back into the larger meeting room and each small group will present their results to the overall group. These results will be the foundation for future “Thought Leadership from Collaborate” resources.
Fireside Chats
Fireside Chats are held 2 weeks after the Learn event. Fireside chats are Open discussions, via Zoom, for network leaders to share how they intend to implement the ideas into their network's strategy. This is intended to be a more informal “living room/around a fire” discussion, allowed to progress as appropriate for those in attendance to have time and ability to share.
