A Roundtable is a 15-minute presentation followed by a small group (roundtable) discussion for the remaining 30 minutes. There are various Roundtables occurring in the same room with groups consisting of 8 to 10 participants. This session type allows for small groups to engage in a focused and guided discussion of an issue facing the profession. Roundtables are a great opportunity for individuals who are new to the conference to become involved in a very friendly venue, or for those who serve a narrower population to gather like-minded professionals.
