At academic and professional conferences, the casual, lunch table conversations are often insightful and inspiring. We are hoping to mimic those conversations in this virtual environment. This 45-minute session consists of three 15-minutebreakout conversations. We are hoping to create a virtual round robin experience where participants will be able to engage in conversation, but will then be prompted (but not required) to move to a different zoom session after 15 minutes.
