Theme Workshops*

* There were five concurrent workshop tracks, each with a theme. Each Theme Workshop (sixty persons each) began with presentations by two major thought leaders and two case studies to stimulate discussion and debate for the rest of the day. Each Theme Workshop then broke into three smaller Study Teams (twenty persons each) that met twice in the afternoon. The five Theme Workshops reconvened for a final working session at the end of the day for report outs and discussion.

On Thursday evening many Congress delegates attended Hosted Dinners, but Theme Workshop and Study Team facilitators worked on report-out presentations of the five Theme Workshops for the final Congress plenary.
