Group Discussion & Community Building – Salon DE
Let’s learn together! Join us for a large groups session where you can share topics that you want to focus on during the conference and build a group of peers to discuss them. Maybe you want to discuss the use of AI with the predictive technologies or how planning is critical to good scheduling, share your topic with the group and plan to get together later to debate, discuss, and decide. This is one of the best ways you can personalize your conference experience.
