Expert-led interactive conversations
Location: Exhibition Hall, RDS
Session Time: 11:45-12:45
Back by popular demand, our interactive conversations will be an important part of this year’s conference agenda.
The goal is to provide expert facilitation, peer learning, sharing practice as well as making new connections.
We have a multitude of topics being addressed under five key themes. This will give our delegates a chance to engage with topics in specialist areas, explore opportunities for learning and connection, and also peer support in some of the challenging areas of practice.
Participate in two expert-led interactive conversations from our 26 roundtables and 4 insights areas.
