Keynote and Deep Dive Workshop:

How can you ensure your education programs foster true learning in the minds and in the workplaces of your attendees? Due to advances in neuroscience, brain research now reveals evidence-based strategies to guide effective learning experiences. While there’s still a lot we don’t know, implementing a handful of simple techniques when combined with quality meeting management can enhance the intentionality of your association’s professional development offerings. In small group exercises apply brain-based strategies to support your speakers and to enhance the quality and sophistication of your programming.

Michigan native Aaron Wolowiec is a talented and passionate learning strategist and meetings coach whose diverse achievements guide and propel association goals and initiatives, especially as they relate to education and learning. Aaron has more than a decade of experience in the meetings industry, and has taught for three years at a Michigan college.

Aaron is a certified association executive, a certified meeting professional and a certified tourism ambassador, and he earned a master’s degree in administration (with a concentration in leadership) from Central Michigan University. An active member of ASAE, Aaron is both a past chairman of the Young Association Executives Committee and a 2009-2011 Diversity Executive Leadership Program scholar.
