Moving to Action Launch Party: National Context, Local Action
Welcome to the Nexus Summit Moving to Action Launch Party! This event, new to Nexus Summit 2023, brings together local teams from across the United States and globally who are Moving To Action - together as a Nexus community.
On Friday, September 29, communities will gather to participate in the Nexus Summit closing program, which will include the plenary "Working Together for Impact: Converting New Knowledge to Action," a synthesis of highlights from the full Nexus Summit program - and importantly - time for groups to work together, share their ideas, and make an action plan for advancing IPE outcomes that matter locally.
Schedule:
Moving to Action Launch Party participants have access to all Nexus Summit programming on Friday, September 29. This programming includes three elements:
- 9:30 - 10: 30 am CDT: Special Sessions on topics including health equity, teaming, collaborative practice and AI
- Learn more and attend these sessions on the Daily Schedule
- 10:45 - 11:30 am CDT: Plenary Session - Working Together for Impact: Converting New Knowledge to Action
- The final plenary of Nexus Summit 2023 will explore take-aways from the Summit and begin to consider how to convert those ideas into local action. Participants will explore key points that emerged and address uncomfortable questions. We will introduce NexusIPE™ design principles as we consider our commitment to action to advance IPE outcomes that matter locally. Join the plenary at this page.
- 11:30 am - 1:30 pm CDT: Moving to Action Launch Party and National Report Out (For registered teams only)

During the Moving to Action Launch Party, teams can use the Zoom link to:
- Gather in a breakout room with other team members. All teams will have an assigned breakout room available for use, if desired.

Local Launch Party Kick-Off, Welcome, Team Networking
Whether in-person or virtually, we invite teams to use this time to socialize, make connections and network.
During your kick-off, select your recorder(s) for the Launch Party. The recorder(s) will document your team’s ideas and decisions. They will also be responsible for submitting responses to questions via Mentimeter for real-time input during the National Report Out.

How will the Launch Party be structured? Teams are invited to gather early for social time and connection. Encourage attendees to attend the Special Sessions and share what they learned with others. The plenary synthesis session is an opportunity to learn together as a team. Beginning at 11:30 am CT, there is time set aside for local teams to work together. Consider offering lunch or snacks as you build community and cultivate ideas for your local action planning. At 12:45 pm CT, the Nexus Summit will reconvene nationally.

Why should I host? Now, more than ever, it is hard to find the time and space for creative and collaborative work time with colleagues. We encourage you to use the Launch Party as an opportunity to gather your local constituents, participate in the Nexus Summit debriefing and synthesis for a national perspective and then utilize the structured time to select or codify a shared goal for your local work together. All groups who participate in local Launch Parties will be invited to share a brief summary of your local initiative when the national program reconvenes and all Launch Party teams will be invited to participate in an exclusive Learning Community.
Can I invite my clinical partners to attend? Yes, we encourage you to use this as an opportunity to engage with your current and/or potential clinical partners. By attending the Nexus Summit, your clinical partners will better understand: Opportunities to partner with interprofessional education experts to address complex challenges facing practicing healthcare teams today. Learn how creating environments that support improved team working can help address current workforce challenges. Create dialogue between educators and clinicians to identify shared priorities and opportunities to achieve health and learning outcomes that matter.
How will teams engage after the Summit? All registered local Launch Parties will be invited to an exclusive Learning Community hosted by the National Center that will meet quarterly to learn together through the sharing of progress on action plans, dialogue around challenges and discussion of how to harness new opportunities as they emerge. Don't miss the opportunity to join this Learning Community. Save the dates!

What are the requirements? The National Center recommends that a team of at least 2 participate in the Launch Party together. While meeting in person would be a fantastic way to advance your local plan, teams may convene virtually during the local planning time and rejoin the Launch Party for the closing. We request that teams hosting local Launch Parties register with the National Center to ensure you are recognized during the session and invited to participate in the exclusive Learning Community.
