AWE USA 2024

Colleges and Career Development Roundtables #1

Jun 20

01:30 PM - 02:10 PM
Hall A
Collaboration, Training & Education

Description

There are many amazing XR-related projects going on at universities around the world. Rather than the traditional presentation format, we wanted to give attendees an opportunity to talk with the professionals in charge of these projects and ideas.

Between 1:30 - 3:00 pm in Hall A, we'll have 10 roundtables. Each table will be hosted by a professional ready to chat with you about a different topic. Join a discussion and then switch halfway through. (Each discussion will last 40 minutes and then there will be a 10 minute break to swap.)

If you join late, that's ok. Just find a table with an open spot and jump in the discussion!
