Symposia Overview

Evening symposia are the primary gatherings of the full Princeton Roundtable.  The symposia begin with a relaxed cocktail hour followed by dinner.  Content may consist of informal “roundtable” discussions on topics of interest to Princeton Roundtable participants or presentations by industry, public policy or academic thought leaders followed by Q&A.   Meaningful and direct sharing of views is a Princeton Roundtable tradition.
