What is a Community Conversation?

Think of it as an "un-panel" (or salon... whatever works for you) . We have "conversation leaders" but there are no tiers. Everyone is part of the audience and everyone can participate. We put 6-8 leaders into the crowd and lean on them to contribute the guiding thoughts behind our conversation, but we rely on much audience participation, questions, etc. to move things along.
