Beyond Panels: Interactive Breakout Sessions
The event features not only panel discussions and workshops – the full agenda can be found here – but also smaller breakout sessions.
These sessions offer increased opportunities to pose questions directly to speakers, editors, and fellow attendees, and to share specific challenges.
Deeper Engagement Through Smaller Groups
As Karin Maake, senior director of communications at FlashParking, who previously attended TC Sessions: Mobility, has observed, the smaller breakout sessions at all TC Sessions events facilitate more profound and meaningful conversations.
While the presentations are compelling, it’s important to allocate time to participate in these focused breakout sessions at TC Sessions: Justice 2021.
