This year, we're excited to introduce a new Speed Networking session designed to help attendees expand their professional networks in a fun and engaging format. Participants will have the opportunity to connect one-on-one with fellow regulatory professionals, students, and industry peers through a series of five-minute conversations. To help spark engaging discussions, the RAPS Ontario organizing team will provide conversation prompts and networking questions throughout the session.
