- Topic: Puzzles focuses entirely on campus sexual and dating violence AND all presenters are required to incorporate aspects of intersectionality in their sessions.
- Cash: As an incentive to network with other participants and to visit our sponsor exhibitor booths, we will award multiple cash winners per day. The top participants on the conference app will get cash Venmo’d straight to them! Or an e-gift card – whichever you prefer.
- Community: Puzzles is centered on the importance of building relationships and community. Our plentiful and hard-working team strive to create a personalized, connected, supportive, and welcoming conference experience tailored to you. Even though we are virtual, we believe you will continue to feel our personal connection!
