Ahoy, Mate! ⚓️
We had an unforgettable time at the annual Arizona Correctional Educators Symposium, held on June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Scottsdale Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. 🏨 The event kicked off on June 1st with a smooth arrival, setting the stage for a fantastic few days ahead. 🚗
On June 2nd, we enjoyed a full day of engaging presentations 📚, followed by a swashbuckling good time at the President’s Reception in the evening 🏴☠️. The evening was filled with laughter, networking, and plenty of pirate-themed fun! 🍹
The symposium wrapped up on June 3rd after lunch 🍽️, leaving us with valuable takeaways and new connections. 🤝
Our theme, Finding Hidden Treasures 💎, was a pirate and treasure hunter-inspired adventure. We had a thrilling scavenger hunt 🏴☠️, and attendees plundered plenty of loot throughout the event. 💰 Thankfully, no one had to walk the plank! 😜
Presentations included a variety of exciting and impactful topics:
We were also thrilled to introduce our keynote speaker, Judson Laipply 🎤. Known for his high-energy presentations, Judson combined comedy and content to leave us with both joy and lasting insights. With over 20 years of experience and a global reach 🌍, Judson is best known for his viral video, The Evolution of Dance 💃, which garnered over a billion impressions. His talk was an unforgettable highlight of the symposium! ✨
Thanks to all who joined us for this incredible event—full of treasure, learning, and inspiration! 💎 We can’t wait to see you next year! 👏
