Debate & Dialogue
These sessions provide an opportunity for engaging knowledgeable contributors to interact with colleagues to discuss and debate the key thematic issues that arise each day. Each panel will have four participants and one moderator.
The panels will be provided with pre-session briefings and pre-set questions which they will collectively address. Each question will initiate a round of discussion and, after all panellists have responded, the audience will have an equal amount of time to comment and/or ask additional questions.
Four interactive debate and dialogue sessions will convene each day for a total of 16 sessions. You may use the following links to jump to the sessions on a particular day:
