Presentation and Conversation (45 minutes) – NEW for 2025!
Begin your session with 15-25 minutes about your chosen topic (like a Lightning Session). Attendees will be seated at round tables for small group discussions about the topic during the remaining 20-30 minutes. As the presenter, you can participate as you see fit during the table discussions. Report-outs by the tables
are also at your discretion. -
