Social Circus Consulting [ON-SITE SIGN UP REQUIRED]
Social Circus Consulting Option 
Past conference attendees have requested one-on-one advice about their social circus plans, dreams or organizations. Often, such conversations have taken place informally. This year, we are making this available in an organized way, so that they are easily accessible to all.

Five experienced social circus practitioners – Jen Agans, Zoe Brookes, Amy Christian, Dan Roberts and David Hunt - will offer up to 3 30-minute sessions during the course of the conference. In the attache document, you’ll find a brief bio on each and how the type of problems they can best address. If you’d like to book a session with them, sign-up sheets will be available on-site at EdCon. Together, you will find a mutually convenient time for the session.

Questions can be addressed to Alisan Funk: alisan@americancircuseducators.org
