Peer-to-Peer Discussion Group (DG) Format:
Sessions are designed for small groups of up to 15 attendees. Attendees hold senior ICT management roles and represent different industry sectors. Vendors and consultants are not allowed to attend. The session opens with an outline of a best practice implementation. This is followed by a facilitated debate of specific challenges participants face in their organizations. DGs enable participants to explore tried and tested techniques and solution options with their peers in an open and informal setting. Small number of participants allows each delegate to actively contribute and learn. 30 min of networking coffee break is included in the session time.
