Roundtables

One of our favorite sessions! Attendees love being able to contribute their ideas freely and have conversations with their peers.

Peer Moderated Roundtables

We are always looking for ideas to enhance our roundtable discussions. Send us a note if you have an idea!

Structure Suggestions

  • Brief introductions
    • Be mindful not to spend the entire time here, especially if you have a large room
  • Split your room up into even smaller groups, rotate questions in a speed dating style
    • Create opportunities for more intimate discussions, especially if you have a large room
  • Be mindful of who is participating in the conversation
    • Are there any individuals dominating the conversation? Has everyone who wants to talk been given the opportunity to engage?
 

Structure Example from a Previous Moderator:

“I ended up separating that group into 3 topics/areas of discussion – People, Process & System. Each person joined the conversation they were most interested in. Halfway through I gave them the opportunity to continue the conversation or switch to talking about an opportunity as opposed to a challenge.”
