Peer Forums

Peer Forums will break out into separate rooms. If you are affiliated with a professional chorus, we hope you will attend the Professional Chorus Incubator taking places at the same time.

Peer Forums are a way to meet and learn from colleagues who face the same opportunities and challenges. At this session, expand on yesterday's discussions by focusing on the topics that your group was more interested in exploring further.
