What is a “Round Table”?
The conference’s primary academic component is the “Round Table/Roundtable,” abbreviated as “RT.” RTs offer a structured discussion format where experts and interested individuals engage in open, often informal conversations on specific topics. These discussions not only expose delegates to fresh perspectives but also foster trust and mutual understanding among participants. Topics range from public health and wellness to economics and finance.
Each Roundtable, led by an Executive Committee Roundtable Coordinator, includes an equal mix of Chinese and American Delegates to ensure balanced cultural perspectives. During the conference, Delegates will participate in RT discussions and collaborate on research projects directly linked to their respective RT topics and the conference’s overall programming. These projects, when presented at site forums, serve as valuable deliverables that consolidate the content Delegates engaged with during the conference and facilitate a deeper exploration of key issues within their RT topics. Through intensive discussions and academic collaboration, participants develop a more nuanced understanding of their international counterparts and actively collaborate to generate real-world solutions within the context of U.S.-China relations.
