Roundtables
Do you have an idea to share, or a burning question? Focused small-group discussions meet over breakfast and lunch. They continually yield great contacts and new ideas for CASE V conference participants.
Roundtables run from 8 to 9 a.m. Monday and Tuesday, and 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Monday in the Resource Center. Coffee, juice and baked goods will be provided free of charge during the morning roundtables. Monday, lunch will be available for purchase.
Roundtables are limited to 10 participants to ensure discussion by all. Facilitators will keep discussions moving. Roundtable sign-up sheets will be posted in the Resource Center. To take part, sign up in the Resource Center beginning Sunday evening. Roundtables fill up quickly — sign up 24 hours in advance.
