| Generating Practical Answers Together |
|
| These interactive roundtable discussions or “fishbowls” will focus on AFI’s six policy areas. Each fishbowl consists of an inner circle with 6-8 panelists who tackle tough issues in a moderated conversation. The conversation is then widened to include the audience. Come prepared with your own perspectives and questions for panelists and other audience members. At the conclusion of each fishbowl the moderator will summarize the discussion and highlight priorities for future action. |
