Moderators

  • We ask that you coordinate briefing calls with your panellists in advance.

  • We ask that you prepare a brief session outline based on everyone’s input. It does not need to be overly detailed - just a loose structure with a few guiding questions - as we’d like the discussion to remain as natural and dynamic as possible.

  • You can find speaker bios in the Summit App. Let us know if you need any support.
