There will be a panel for each of the following regions, with timings according to the local timezone:

– Latin America
These panels will be dedicated to specific domains as they relate to education. Sessions will have between 3 and 4 speakers, with a strong focus on Q&A.
Two panels will be held in each of the following domains:
– Government and Policy
– International Organizations
– NGOs and Non-Profits

HGSE faculty with experience with past IEP cohorts will present their work in the format of short talks. Alumni will have an opportunity to virtually meet and reconnect with these faculty members
Twelve standalone sessions will be led by IEP graduates giving an overview of their work and the challenges they’ve faced to date.
Throughout the conference, we will have open spaces for small-group ad-hoc meetings. This will provide alumni with the chance to reconnect with their cohort and network in a more informal virtual space.
