In Salons, we gather in small groups to discuss special topics in ethnography and the social and professional contexts of our work. Facilitated by hosts who inspire reflection, exploration, and debate, Salons offer a space where attendees share candidly, experiment with evolving ideas, and connect to EPIC people with similar interests.

This year, we are focused on bringing you a format that has deep conversation at its heart. We will provide pre-readings to get your brains working, break into small groups during the session to support equal voice, and use thoughtful provocation questions to guide the discussions.

Salons are free sessions open to all EPIC2020 attendees. Each session is one hour, and is offered twice in each region (find your region). Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, starting October 19 on Pangaea, our conference platform. Questions? registration@epicpeople.org
