Your summary will be very helpful in the selection process.

Your main role is to encourage the presenter to share their knowledge on the topic, to wrap-up the discussions and the Q&A part at the end of the session, and – if time allows - to encourage participants to have an intellectual discussion on the subject. We look forward to your feedback. Thank you!
