Back by popular demand! Last year’s networking event was such a hit, we’re hosting another set of author roundtables this year. We’ve modified the format slightly – there will be two noon hour sessions to avoid schedule conflicts with evening holiday events. During each session, four authors will deliver concise 5-minute presentations about their book followed by breakout sessions for more in-depth discussions. Afterwards each breakout group will share key takeaways and valuable lessons.
