Move from presentation to problem-solving in these highly interactive, peer-driven roundtables. Each roundtable covers a different topic, allowing attendees to choose the discussion most relevant to them.

Roundtable leaders will open with a brief 5-minute introduction and a short overview of the topic, which can include a case study, lessons learned, or an industry update. This is followed by a 30-minute peer discussion, with the leader facilitating questions, feedback, and practical exchange. The final 5 minutes are dedicated to aligning on five clear industry recommendations which will be included the post-conference report.

Choose one topic that aligns with your most urgent priority.
