3:30 – 5:00 Open choice
Open Session - Discussion Groups, networking We will use a version of Open Space Technology, where program attendees will propose and lead discussion topics. Participants will have an opportunity to "sponsor" a topic by presenting it to the group and inviting others to join, and those who want to join that discussion may do so. Mingling between groups is also welcomed. The notes from all sessions will be captured online, and shared so that all may view them.

Alternately, you may opt to use the open session for other collaborative work involving laptops, one-on-one discussions or to meet with a mentor.
