General Information for Roundtable Discussion Presenters
Roundtable Discussion date:
Friday, August 8, 2008
Roundtable Discussion format:
Roundtable Discussions give facilitators the opportunity to discuss a relevant topic in an informal small group setting. During these 45-minute discussions, the facilitator and the participants interact to share their ideas and perspectives. The discussion facilitator will:
- Introduce the topic
- Encourage participation
- Guide the interchange of ideas
- Flow with participants' needs

We require that each Roundtable Discussion provides a handout to attendees at the conference. We also request a copy to include in our Web Resource Library.
