Events

Round Tables

Our Round Table events are discussion forums that brings together groups of experts, thought leaders, or influential stakeholders from a particular industry or focus area to have an open dialogue and exchange on key topics, challenges, and ideas, yielding collaborative outcomes. Our Round Table events will typically include 10 - 15 participants with no specific hierarchy engaged in facilitated conversations that allow each participant to contribute their view points and perspectives on well-defined themes with focused questions that frame the discussions rather than be overly open-ended.

The intended outcomes of such sessions include, but may not be limited to the following:

  • New insights, shared understandings, networking relationships
  • Inputs to research, advisory reports, policy positions etc.
  • Solutions to common challenges that the SASDC can implement as new projects and/or programmes.
