Select The Events You Will Attend at the ASCEND Conference

Rep Roundtable Discussions

If you are selecting to attend Rep Roundtable Discussions, please note rep participation is key—these are peer-driven discussions, not traditional breakout sessions.

Roundtable Discussions will take place immediately following lunch on Thursday, October 8 during Booth Time / Break. Please rank each topic below from 1–5 stars (5 = most interested, 1 = not interested). Participants will be assigned to discussions based on availability and topic preferences.

Plan to attend one or two discussions. If there is high interest in certain topics, additional discussions may be offered after lunch on both days of the conference. In that case, you may attend up to four discussions. Please rank topics accordingly (e.g., top two choices, followed by your next two).
