Workshops function similarly to the Business Solution Roundtables held at IFA’s Annual Convention with group discussion and work sessions where all attendees participate and add input. There would be two (2) rounds of breakout ‘table’ discussions, and in each round, the same topic would be discussed in each group (~10 attendees per group) so that a full workshop discussion regarding things learned at each table can ensue after each round. This style provides the most amount of peer-to-peer exchange and networking.
Needed for this style:
A. Two (2) topics for discussion – Round 1 topic; Round 2 topic
B. Five to eight (5-8) facilitators per round
