Discussions:

• The four groups leading discussion at the pre-conference shared what they plan on talking about. Andrew will introduce everyone at the beginning rather than between topics, then wrap up afterward. It was also discussed whether to remain as one large group or break into smaller ones, it was decided that smaller groups would take too long.
