In addition to nearly 40 sessions, this conference introduced the pathway concept – where participants took a deep dive into special topics and worked together to develop some output. Results include an Encyclopedia of Positive Questions – using an appreciative inquiry approach to reframe questions; planned international extension of the IAP2 USA National Dialogue on Conflict’s impact on P2 and an associated white paper, website and resource bank to help practitioners manage conflict and division in our processes. I truly appreciate those of you who waded into the deep end with us. Read more... | Join us!

Core Values Awards Gala
| The Core Values Award Gala was a night to be remembered. Under the everchanging lights of the History Colorado Center, a mass of P2 practicioners gathered together to celebrate our Core Values Awards winners from across North America. Guests from around the globe sat back and enjoyed presentations, meaningful and heartfelt speeches, and gained insights into community-changing, and perhaps life-changing, projects. We want to extend our thanks to those who joined us for this jovial evening! Learn more about the IAP2 USA and IAP2 Canada Core Values Award Winners.

New in 2017! Pathways
Pathways were “deep dives” into specific topics; three-hour discussions where participants got to set the agenda, co-create and co-host! Those taking part were able to set the physical and intellectual environment where a small group of people can tackle big questions that ultimately contribute to the field.
More materials will be added soon! Click on the images below to see their final powerpoints.
