Welcome to the Lobby of MBA Conclave 2020 Virtual Experience!

This interactive platform will make it feel almost like you are at the conference in person. The Opening Session will be in the Auditorium, located just to the left of the information desk. Breakout sessions are upstairs in the Ashmore, Crawford, Daniels, and Harrison Rooms. Just click on the doors to enter. DECA AMPED sessions will be in the Harrison Room. The Expo Hall is on the Mezzanine Level. There, you can visit booths and chat live with vendors. Throughout the conference, you can earn points for attending sessions, visiting exhibits, finding icons, and more. This is gamification at its best, with great prizes and a leader board to make it even more fun.

Engage Learning With Badges

Digital badges (micro-credentials) are a great way to engage students during remote learning and provide proof of their learning. Students will enjoy mastering a skill or achieving a goal to earn a digital badge. Use this strategy to "breadcrumb" learning in your classroom. Students earn badges in business, marketing, employability, and 21st Century Skills. Tied to standards, badges provide students with proof of their learning to post on digital portfolios and resumes, LinkedIn, even on social media.
