Summit Format

What is a Fishbowl?

The “fishbowl” is a method to organize presentations and group discussions that offer collaboration and a spontaneous, conversational approach to discussing topics. This is accomplished by arranging the room with speakers seated towards the center of the room and Summit registrants arranged in a circle or half circle watching the conversation “in the fishbowl.”

The CHIME Innovation Summit ‘Fishbowl Panels’ will include a Moderator to guide the conversation, 3 invited faculty thought leaders, and 2 open seats available for anyone in the audience to enter the fishbowl and actively participate in the conversation. All registrants will have equal opportunity to participate in these critically important topics to our industry. Please join us!
