2017 Sessions & Speakers
Under the central theme of sustainable co-operative development, our guest speakers will explore a variety of topics using a range of presentation formats, including: a keynote address, a moderated panel discussion, plenary presentations and faciliated breakout sessions, where delegates will participate and share their ideas and best practices.
We will post information and bios for all our moderators, facilitators and guest speakers in the coming weeks.
