Open PACE Sessions
Pathways to Applied Creativity and Explorations (PACE) workshops allow you to sample a variety of topics presented by leading practitioners in the field of creativity and innovation. PACE workshops are offered in two time formats:
- Full Week Program - every day you'll be able to attend elective PACE Sessions. You can choose to come for 5 days, 3 days or by the day. More info & listings, click here
- Open PACE - 90-minute PACE workshops are “electives” for everyone at CPSI to attend in the afternoons
Open PACE Sessions are an educational and experiential complement to your full week program. Several concurrent sessions are offered each afternoon. Over 60 PACE sessions to choose from. Topics are wide-ranging, and presenters are selected through a juried process.
