Beyond IQ - On Line!

Success vs. Failure
and other false dichotomies

2021 Program

(still under construction; time, topics, and presenters subject to change)

Registration will be strictly online during the event.

Friday, April 23rd, at BIQ

Workshops for Professionals

Check-in for Friday will be between 8 and 9am EDT. While we are not serving meals at this event, feel free to sit with others while you all breakfast. We usually finish up around 4pm, but sometimes discussions go on into dinner!

In keeping with the theme of the weekend, a major focus of our discussions will deal with Success vs. Failure, as they are considered by and/or applied to HG/PG children, teens, and adults. We’ll explore how they might be reframed in both educational and mental health milieus, as well as at home or work.

We will be offering both a fixed structure with specific workshops for those who prefer them, and less formal discussions, varying large and small group interaction based on the needs and interests of our attendees. This permits us to address individual questions more effectively than the standard presentation model seems to.

Bring tough questions!
