    Playground Session: Attendees engage in a hands-on workshop, experimenting with tech tools, robotics, drones, and apps in a collaborative, guided environment that coincides with the other breakout sessions on Thursday, October 23, 2025 in the IT² Playground located in the Atrium.

    Poster Entries: Poster creators will share their technology and technology integration projects through a poster that will be on display throughout the day. Poster creators will likely not be present or stay near their poster. Posters will provide you with enough information to ignite casual or in-depth discussions among fellow attendees who are exploring with you. Posters will be displayed on Friday, October 24, 2025, and attendees get a chance to vote on the best poster. The winner will be announced during the door prize drawings on Friday and will receive free admittance to the IT² 2026 conference!

    Contact IT2@swwc.org for more information about or to submit Playground Sessions and Poster Entries.

    Presentation Styles
    IT² will feature several types of presentations. We leave it up to our presenters to indicate the type of presentation that they will be delivering. The types of presentation styles are:
    • Listen and Learn: Lecture-style presentations. Attendees will be allowed to ask questions during and following the presentation.
    • Active Discussion: Attendees will be expected to be actively engaged in a discussion, either with the audience in its entirety or in small group discussions.  Session leader(s) will share knowledge and resources, but active engagement of the audience will be included.
    • Hands-On: Attendees will be expected to actively participate in “hands-on” activities that the presenter leads them through. These will most likely be interactive activities or apps. Please describe the virtual hands-on requirements for your session in the session description. If attendees are expected to bring specific devices, applications, or utilize an online resource, it should be detailed in your session description.

    Target Audience
    Sessions at IT² 2025 will show the targeted audience that the presenter identified within the session description. We will continue to request the ability to add this as a filter category for sessions from our schedule management vendor as we would love to offer that capability to you!

    Move Around
    Find yourself in a session that isn't what you thought it would be? Don't feel that you are required to stay in it, you should move around and find a different session that will engage and inspire you! Don't forget to check out the IT² Playground on Thursday and Poster Sessions on Friday if nothing in the schedule is catching your interest.

Thank You It2 Sponsors!
