Science Plenary

This session invites participants to deepen how they understand their work. By strengthening their ability to interpret complexity, participants will be better equipped to make thoughtful decisions, respond with intention, and stay grounded in their role.

As the conference turns toward broader systems and structures, this plenary offers a foundation for seeing both practice and policy with greater depth and insight.
