Panel Sessions & Roundtables
What is a Panel Session? - these are interactive forums focusing on specific areas of interest offering the opportunity for Q&A with a panel of experts in their field.

What is a Roundtable session? - UKOUG have set up an open area where up to 50 people can partake in this interactive discussion group, facilitated by a presenter who has knowledge in the topic area. Beginners to advanced attendees are welcome.
