Catch The Ball: Design The Perfect Data Interpretation Approach
This session has been designed for audience participation and knowledge sharing with no excuses! Instead of slowly passing around a stick microphone, simply throw the soft ball to the first person in the room who meets your eyes.
Delegates are encouraged to come along with ideas, comments and provocative questions for their peers. This is a self-moderated session so there won’t be such thing as hiding in corners!
|
17:15
|
Speed Networking
Delegates are prompted to meet others in brief 3-4 minute rounds. The moderator will be keeping track of time and announcing participants when to switch partners.Make sure you bring lots of business cards along with you!
