The format for the evening will include three concurrent roundtable sessions on three separate topics. The sessions will be 30-35 minutes of moderated discussion followed by 5-10 minutes for each group to pull together a recap to share with the entire group. Each group will be given up to 10 minutes to share the recap. Flip charts and pens will be provided.
