Each not-for-profit will get 3 minutes to tell the group what their organisation does and what they'd like to learn, then the group will have 5 minutes to share as many helpful suggestions as possible, and then on to the next member and so on. Presentations and questions will be strictly timed to give everyone a go (hence the gong session) and there will be time at the end to share business cards, arrange to talk over lunch etc. |
