Happy Hour Round-Tables: Circular Economy & Waste Reduction

​Join us for a new and unique type of event: Happy Hour Round-Tables! In this themed happy hour we will gather at a restaurant or bar and split into small-group round-table discussions, with prepared conversation prompts for each table so we can dive deep into meaningful conversations about the theme.

​For our first Happy Hour Round-Tables the theme will be Circular Economy & Waste Reduction ♻️

​⏳ What to expect

• ​As you arrive, you will join a table with 6-8 people for a focused discussion based on a conversation prompt assigned to the table

• ​Every 20 minutes the organizers will announce a quick break and ask each table to share one insight or action item from their discussion

• ​After the break, participants can choose to switch to a different table to engage in a different discussion, or stay in their current table to continue the conversation

• ​Everyone is welcome to participate or listen in the discussion. You don't need to be an expert in the topic!

​Examples of topics you might discuss during this event:

• ​Innovative waste management and recycling/upcycling strategies
