After the CLE, there will be a variety of roundtables to participate in. The various CLC subcommittees will also hold breakout sessions during four different time blocks, from late Friday afternoon through early Saturday afternoon. We encourage you to attend and actively participate in these informal sessions. While the breakout sessions are topic specific, the subcommittees are always looking for and welcome new ideas and contributors.
