the posters. As the attendees read the posters they should look for connections to their own project. During this time one member of each team will stand by their posters and team members will switch off doing this during this time so that everyone can see the posters. The schedule and a map of where the posters are will be provided ahead of time. | ||

Attendees will be able to suggest topics and vote for dinner topics during the day. An initial list of potential table topics will be available at the reception on Tuesday evening and posted in the meeting space on Wednesday, along with a spot for writing in suggested topics. NAE staff will select the most popular topics on Wednesday while attendees are in the affinity group discussions. Attendees will then pick their table/topic on a first-come first-served basis. | ||
