ROUNDTABLES

 

This is where participants brainstorm, debate, and discuss a series of relevant topics and problems. This very popular format is known to be targeted, dynamic, interactive, and fast-paced.


Breakout peer-to-peer roundtable discussions offer delegates the opportunity to hear what other government departments and agencies are up to and learn from their public sector counterparts. Roll up your sleeves and get involved! Prepare to debate and challenge today’s tech trends!


How do they run? Running on day one, roundtable discussions are a break-away from the conference and are broken down into three allotments of time. Each roundtable will run the same topic three times in 30-minute intervals, giving attendees the flexibility to walk the expo floor, as well as, attend the roundtable of their choice.
