All participants will be pre-assigned to discussion groups for the conference’s second day. You will return to your group throughout the day and have the opportunity to reflect on your thoughts together after each keynote.
The purpose of keeping the same groups throughout the day is to keep the process moving and to allow discussions to pick up where they left off, but with new input and insights.
