HOW IT WORKS
Our After Hours: Around the Table with the Experts series features one or more distinguished faculty and is designed for global peers like you who want to go deeper into a pertinent issue or topic to strengthen their own knowhow and competence. You can opt to take 1 or 2 Sessions with each Expert:
SESSION 1
Advanced Content Briefing
In Session 1 – Advanced Content Briefing the expert faculty member delves into an area of specialization, sharing insights, examples and more with the cohort following a structured session flow.
In some cases, this may be more of a traditional presentation. In others (depending upon the topic and the Expert), there may be hands-on activities in which you’ll have the opportunity to participate actively.
A small amount of the 75 minute Session 1 is dedicated to Q&A, usually clarifications.
SESSION 2 (OPTIONAL)
In-depth Expert Q&A
In Session 2 – In-depth Expert Q&A, we use a more open, conversational learning approach for in-depth discussion with the Expert.
Based on what has been shared in Session 1, you and peers are given the floor to share your specific questions and views with the Expert. You can ask for ‘workshopping’ help, or ask the Expert to expand on relevant case studies.
This is also your opportunity to connect with a small group of experienced peers who have shared interest—and whose situations, ideas, and circumstances may inspire your own work.
PARTICIPANT PROFILE
Typically, you’ll join the Expert(s) and approximately 14 other global peers* who, like you, are passionate, curious and committed to challenging themselves and strengthening their practice.

*IDD Global Peers include trainers, educators, consultants, coaches, researchers, scholars, equity specialists, facilitators, HR staff and professional development experts, whether working in companies, classrooms, civil society organizations, governments, local communities or wherever else Differences are present.
No matter your geography, sector or how you came to the field, we welcome you. >> Meet an IDD Global Peer.
