SDP Convening 2017 Resource Library
With more than 55 hours of content, it's impossible for anyone to see and do everything at convening. To help you catch up on sessions you've missed and to keep convening content at your fingertips year-round, you can contribute and refer to this resource library.
For each session, check out notes, files, resources and more. Upload your notes, photos, and related resources to each session you attend. Miss a session? Download the slide decks and notes of session attendees.
One person can't see and do everything at convening, but all of SDP can come together to make sure that no one has to miss out.
Find more by clicking on any of the sessions below or by following the link at the beginning of each session description.
