Nicollet B-D

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Thomas Edison

"Failure is success in progress." Albert Einstein

Please join us for "A Failure Shared is Not a Failure: Learning from Our Mistakes", our 8th annual event. It will be held as the closing session of the AIC Annual Meeting at 5 pm CDT on Saturday, May 31st. This session will take place both in-person in Minneapolis and virtually. It's always challenging, hilarious, sad, fun, sobering, and reassuring all at once!

This year, the session will immediately follow the Business Meeting, right in the same room. And there will be a cash bar! In this judgement-free zone, what happens in the room, stays in the room! Come share your stories with your friends and colleagues. Though it will be live-streamed and recorded for our virtual attendees, it will NOT be included in Postprints, and will NOT be posted on YouTube. Join together as we close out the 53rd annual meeting!
