Session formats

The format is intentionally flexible. The agenda is developed from input shared via a pre-event survey. While topics are defined, discussions are led and shaped by participants.

Full-length sessions

In-depth discussions sparked by one participant and shaped through group dialogue.

Learning Labs

Shorter, focused conversations where one participant briefly shares a practice, tool, or insight, followed by discussion.

Peer consult

Participants bring a live challenge and take turns sharing it with the group, receiving feedback and ideas from their peers.

Lunch discussions

A few open tables with specific pre-assigned topics for those who want to join during lunch.

Chatham House Rules

All event discussions are held under Chatham House Rules and are intended to be confidential, to encourage candid conversation among participants. We welcome participants publicly sharing high-level takeaways or observations from the event, but please refrain from attributing any commentary to a specific participant or organization.
