There are three different types of sessions to choose from:

• Sparkplug Sessions offer practical skills and tools needed for daily work in arts management and education. 
• Asset-Based Community Development and Education (ABCDE) Sessions are Sparkplug-inspired sessions with an emphasis on the asset-based approach.
• Arts Experiences teach a new arts skill and complete a finished artwork while reflecting on conference content.
