Featured Sessions
Discussion Forums
Back for an encore appearance in Seattle, the Discussion Forums are innovative and collaborative sessions that will further engage attendees to build connections and share best practices. The Discussion Forums are essentially specialty group rooms that are led by one session moderator and appeal to those attendees who are interested in discussing broad-based issues with like-minded professionals in the area of pediatrics, practice management, vestibular, and amplification.
Attendees will sit at round tables of 8 or 10 and the session moderator will open the session by teeing up questions/guided talking points for the tables to consider and discuss. After about 45-minutes, the moderator will close the session and call on volunteers at tables to stand up and share what was discussed and what solutions they came up with based on the questions posed at the beginning of the session. CEUs will be earned for attending a Discussion Forum.
