Approach experts based on your interests or questions, ask for advice, seek answers, and share your own insights. Feel free to switch tables as you explore multiple topics at your own pace. Afterward, during the closing session, reflect on and share any valuable insights you’ve gained from your interactions. This format encourages active participation and collaborative learning, so make the most of this opportunity to exchange knowledge and network with following experts.
