Navigating Roundtables

Roundtable Sessions are an opportunity for roundtable presenters to lead discussions on a particular topic with fellow attendees.

Roundtable Sessions are scheduled in 50-minute timeslots concurrently during the same designated times each day in the program schedule. Please note that there is a maximum of 13 participants in each roundtable session, excluding moderators.

To view all Roundtable Sessions, use the left-hand navigation to click on the Video Roundtables feature.

Searching Video Roundtable Rooms

Once in the Video Roundtables feature, feel free to scroll through all of the roundtables. Additionally, you can use the search feature located in the top of the Video Roundtables section (shown below) to find a specific Video Roundtable Room by keyword or keyword in the title.

Please note that all Video Roundtable Rooms will display as “Closed” until the Video Roundtable Sessions start.
