 Coffee Hours are interactive, hour-long Zoom sessions where you’ll hear a short presentation with a lively, facilitated discussion. Each session features a topic that highlights the host’s work or expertise, with time built in for questions, conversation, and idea sharing. You can participate in the discussion verbally or by adding your thoughts in the chat or a shared document. The format is casual and flexible, making it a great space to connect, learn, and engage with others around topics that matter. |
Upcoming Coffee Hours
