Roundtable Sessions:                    Ideas in Motion

As part of the Smart Energy | Halifax program, The Roundtable Room, sponsored by STANTEC is where some of the most engaging conversations at Smart Energy | Halifax happen. Expert-led tables each focus on a different energy topic, giving participants the chance to sit down in small groups and ask questions directly of leaders from across the sector.

 

Each discussion begins with a short introduction from the expert, followed by open conversation and peer exchange. After fifteen minutes, participants rotate to a new table and topic, creating a fast-paced hour of fresh perspectives and practical insights.

 

No presentations. No slides. Just real conversations about the challenges and opportunities shaping Atlantic Canada’s energy future.
