Overview
This is a great opportunity for iThink and STELLA users from
business, education, research and consulting
to:
- share Systems Thinking experience,
- learn new skills and tricks,
- meet experts in the field,
- try out new ideas for models and simulations, and
- get a sneak peek into the future of isee systems products and training.
The two and a half days will be filled with keynote addresses by Systems Thinking leaders, iThink and STELLA application stories and case studies, field-specific round tables, hands-on workshops, poster sessions, and time for networking and open discussion.
Please mark your calendars and watch this website for updated information about the program agenda and conference schedule.
Program Agenda
We’re currently planning and setting the agenda for
the conference. We’ve lined up several keynote
speakers and isee partners. Participation from iThink and STELLA users across various fields
will make the conference even more valuable. Please contact Sarah Davie at sdavie@iseesystems.com or (603) 448-4990 if you would like to participate in any of the following ways:
Application Story and Case Study
Presentations
Have a great story to tell? We’re looking for Systems
Thinking application examples from all fields. You’ll be given a time slot
in which to present your experience – from start to finish.
Presenters will explain the benefits of outcomes as well as plans for
model expansion or new applications.
Poster Presentations
Want to get some feedback on your dynamic modeling
project or offer guidance without making a full presentation? Poster
presenters will display their project goals, models and outcomes on
posters during an open session.
Hands-on Workshops
Hands-on workshops will provide an opportunity for participants to learn by doing. We're looking for facilitators to guide sessions ranging from introductory model building and Systems Thinking exercises to field specific applications and advanced modeling techniques.
Panel Discussions
Panel Discussions will consider a variety of topics
from: gathering real-world data to fuel models, choosing a project team,
communicating findings, and organizational adoption of Systems Thinking
practices. We’re looking for specific topic ideas and panel
leaders.
Round Table Discussions
Conference participants will meet with peers from
their field to discuss iThink and STELLA
applications, challenges, and successes. We’re looking for round table
leaders who can keep the discussion lively and productive.
