This interactive session invites Owners and Principals to engage in dynamic discussions using a "draw from the bowl" format. Attendees will rotate between groups every 10 minutes, with facilitators remaining in place to guide conversations. Each turn begins with participants drawing a topic from the bowl, sparking focused dialogue and idea-sharing. This format encourages collaboration, networking, and the exchange of valuable insights tailored to the unique challenges faced by Owners and Principals.
