#BCConf26 Networking
Conference meals are designed to do more than fuel your day — they are structured networking opportunities that connect you with the right people at the right moment. On Monday morning and midday, Industry Tables bring together peers from the same sector so you can speak candidly with people who understand your context. Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, the conversation shifts to the Idea Exchange, where tables are organized by topic so you can go deep on the issues that matter most to your work right now.
