Upskilling for the Future

Upskilling Initiative — Simplifying Complex Information

Monday, April 27, 2026
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM ET
Location: HPCC, Room 330AB
CM: 1.5
How do you distill a mountain of data into exactly what your audience needs to know? Simplifying complex information is no easy feat, but during this learning lab, planners will learn and practice implementing tested strategies for parsing the most important messages and tailoring content to the recipient. Planners will walk away with the confidence to more effectively communicate high-level planning information to a wide range of audiences.
