The Service Oriented Conference is a two-day virtual conference aimed at all things service. The conference is for service providers, service receivers, those curious, those interested, and everyone in between. We welcome those from all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, genders, and identities who are interested in service learning, growth, and networking.
The Service Oriented Conference hosts classes, panels, and other educational events on both concrete service techniques and factors that impact the service we may give or receive. Topics focus on both personal service and community service, from the challenges of organizing events to the magic of folding a fitted sheet. Whatever you may think service includes, we hope to share a space where you can expand those ideas, learn new skills, and connect with other service-minded individuals.
