An interactive panel where there is a “science fair” type diagram and station set up for each section of the WMF’s annual plan (including Product and Technology, Legal, GLAM, Education, Campaigns, Grants, Comms, Finance, HR (and perhaps the board if folks are interested?).

Participants can vote with their feet on which sections they have the most questions about, and can engage with the expert and other participants about the ideas in each section.
