Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

We will include 4-5 current CTOs in a panel discussion about current events. We will use the experience of the CTOs to share best practices, hint, tips and innovative ideas that will help to solve current problems. We will crowdsource the beginning questions and allow others to ask questions throughout the session. Each CTO will share a variety of information, including links, documents and master plans.

Outline

We will begin with quick introductions and then move into crowdsourced questions. We will allow other questions throughout the session. We always have more questions then we have time to answer them all.

Supporting research

All of our material comes from the actual implementation of these action items that our CTOs will be sharing. Everything we share has actually been implemented and/or currently in use at the CTOs district.
