Open Exchange Session #1
Join us on Wednesday afternoon for small group discussions on the topics that you want to learn more about!

Each participant will have the opportunity to participate in three different Open Exchange sessions with up to 15 other lean product developers. This is your chance to network with others who are keenly interested in the same areas of lean product development.

We will accept nominations for Open Space sessions on Tuesday afternoon, and then we will hold a vote on Wednesday morning. Topics receiving enough votes will be provided with a Thought Leader to host the discussion, a time and a meeting space for Wednesday afternoon for a small group knowledge sharing session.

This is a great way to dive deeply into a specific area with one of the leading lean product development experts, while you build relationships and share best practices with your peers.

2:30 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.
