HOW IT WORKS

Discussion Group topics will be posted on a round tables in the Ballroom. Seats will be reserved for the designated Facilitator; up to 9 seats will be available for conference attendees.
Boxed lunches will be available at 11:45 as morning sessions adjourn. Conference registrants will pick up a lunch and find a seat at one of the 40+ tables holding Discussion Groups.
The Facilitator will begin discussions at 12:05. Start with a brief introduction about their experience and work in the subject – no more than 5 minutes.
Discussions end no later than 1:15 PM to allow transition time for afternoon sessions that convene at 1:30 PM.
