Description
Each round table covers a different topic, allowing attendees to select which one to join. Round table leaders will begin with a 5-minute introduction of themselves and a brief overview of the topic, which can include a case study, lessons learned log, or industry update. They will then facilitate a 40-minute discussion with the group, encouraging feedback and questions. The last 10 minutes will focus on agreeing on five industry recommendations. These recommendations will be shared with the entire audience and summarized in the post-event report.
