What is a Speed Dating Case Study?

It is when a group of people who don’t know each other work together to solve a problem or brainstorm solutions to a scenario. This is done in a timed manner, and participants will cycle through four case studies.

Goals:

- to facilitate networking amongst workshop participants

- to share ideas and perspectives from a diversity of workshop participants

- to get hands dirty with a real world restoration/reclamation scenario

When: afternoon of February 7th, 2024 (1:30pm to 3:00pm) .

We are delighted to have 14 tables available. Groups of 5-8 people will work through 4 scenarios. Each group will have 15 minutes per table, 3 minutes of an introduction and 12 minutes to work through the scenario.
