Join A Roundtable!

NEW THIS YEAR!

Join colleagues for a Roundtable Workshop in RM. 152!

How a Roundtable Session Works:

A Roundtable Workshop session is your chance to get exposed to current practice from a wide variety of experts and to share your experience in dialog with other colleagues.   There is a Roundtable Workshop offered during each of the session times today.

You may choose to attend 3 out of 4 different table discussions being offered during this 90-minute Roundtable Session.

Each table presentation/discussion is led by a facilitator who will lead the group for 20-25 minutes.  At the end of each presentation, you will move to another table topic of your choice.
