Q&A Sessions
Every afternoon after the last presentation, all of the day’s speakers gather on stage for a vigorous, anything-goes question and answer session that’s open to everyone, giving you the chance to ask any question or follow up on points of interest that arose during the presentations. It’s an exciting, open forum for pursuing deeper understanding and building your knowledge.
$1,000 Drawing
At the end of the final day of presentations, after the Q & A session, a drawing for $1,000 cash is held and all Symposium attendees present are eligible to win. It is one more reason—though not the only reason, by a long shot—to be there ’til the very end of the event!
