Community Conversations are 60-min facilitated collaborative dialogues on forward-looking topics of broad interest. Conversations have a moderator and will begin with mini-presentations by 2-3 people, who can provide both researcher and practitioner perspectives on the topic. These short presentations are intended to be a catalyst for interaction, discussion, and critique, as the remaining time will be devoted to small\/large group discussions and feedback from the community.
