The 2010 Process Education Conference, "Preparing Today's Students to Solve Tomorrow's Problems," was held at St. Louis College of Pharmacy. Following a special pre-conference workshop on Learning to Learn camps, conference participants were welcomed on Sunday evening with a highly-interactive poster session called the Hall of Innovation. Each presenter briefly summarized for the group the items they had brought to share, and then people began to mingle and discuss the many innovations on display. The Hall of Innovation was immediately followed by an interactive book review which included a discussion of how Process Education principles relate to L. Dee Fink's recent text on course design.

The interactive nature of the conference activities on the first day continued through Monday and Tuesday. Plenary speakers Larry Michaelson, Don Saari, and Dan Apple kept conference participants engaged as they demonstrated ways to engage students in Team-Based Learning, fascinate students with problem solving in mathematics, and utilize the Problem Solving Methodology in real-time with a stakeholder group, respectively. Each of the plenary speakers emphasized the importance of applying concepts using realistic scenarios when facilitating activities to develop student skills in problem solving. What's more, this year, each of the plenary speakers offered additional sessions where participants were able to delve more deeply into the techniques presented.
