Your opportunity to drive the conversation! During this interactive session, delegates are invited to join a small group discussion table of their choice to unpack real-world instances of how remedies are being applied to transactions, from a variety of perspectives. Delegates are encouraged to bring their experiences to the table for a facilitated constructive conversation.
