Facilitated Networking Sessions
Monday, July 21, 10:15 am - 11:15 am
Tuesday, July 22, 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm
We'll kick off the first full day of the conference by doing what LHAT does best: sharing best practices from around the nation. We learned during the pandemic that LHAT Happy Hours were a great way for members to stay connected and hear what others were doing to remain relevant in their communities. We started a live version of this type of “informal” networking at the past two conferences and received rave reviews, so we're building in even more time for this type of networking in Pittsburgh.
We'll begin the first discussion as one large group, then divide into 4-5 smaller groups based on programming type and theatre size so you can take a deep dive into any topic desired. Share things you have learned since the Milwaukee conference or ask questions about topics that are most important to your theatre's future success. Think of it as an in-person LHAT-CHAT Network!
Tuesday afternoon, we'll gather again for more networking using the same format, but this time, we'll break into smaller groups based on different topics or demographics than the day before. We want to make sure you get the chance to connect with as many different peers as possible to share experiences and ask for advice. There's no better opportunity for you to tap into the League's “Brain Trust.” Whether you're a first-time attendee, new to the historic theatre field, or have been at your theatre for many years, there's always something new you can learn to improve your theatre, solve a problem, or make your job easier so you don't have to “reinvent the proverbial wheel.”
