Each conversation of Friday@5 is for 60 minutes duration and has two parts: One, The Experts Panel of 40 minutes where 3-4 experts will provide their insights on a specific topic and the challenges and opportunities and concern thereof. The experts will include practitioners, policymakers, researchers & eminent speakers. Two, The Open Mic of 20 minutes where 10-15 participants share their thoughts on the issue with the audience.
