Interactive Panels

Interactive Panels

This year’s Symposium features interactive plenary panels in place of keynote speakers. Our theme, “Perspectives on Polarities”, requires us to consider multiple perspectives. These panels are designed to be highly interactive amongst the panelists and between the panel and us the audience, be provocative, and offer engagement, deep thought and an extensive exploration across different domains. The first session of each Symposium morning will begin with a panel, as follows:
  1. Friday: Leading Organizations in Polarized Times
  2. Saturday: Structural Racism
  3. Sunday: Intractable International Conflicts
