Discussion Sessions
These sessions are quite informal in their structure and presentation. These interactions are of extreme value to our participants. The 60 minute discussions are conducted by 5-8 specialists/officials. Each presenter is assigned an area where a portion of our participants assemble for a talk. The speakers are encouraged to make a brief presentation (up to 15 minutes– no audio/visual) after which the floor should be open for a Q&A session.
