Roundtable “Discussion Groups” are highly interactive and provide attendees ample time to share thoughts and ask questions about a topic. The concept is to exchange information around a particular subject and foster lively conversation among table guests. 

HOW IT WORKS

• A list of the Discussion Group topics and facilitators will be listed in the CFHA conference mobile app.
• 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.
