Types of Sessions: 

1. Workshops: Workshops are interactive sessions designed to engage participants in hands-on activities, collaborative problem-solving, or skill-building exercises. They typically involve smaller groups and encourage active participation and dialogue.
2. Traditional Presentations: Traditional presentations feature one or more speakers delivering new insights to the audience. Presenters are encouraged to accompany their talks with visual aids or other support materials, and plan time for audience engagement.
3. Panel Discussions: Panel discussions bring together between 3 and 5 experts to explore a topic from diverse perspectives through moderated conversation. Panel discussions should have a moderator who plans and organizes the discussion, and engages audience members in the discussion.
