- Description
- Question 1: The RFP stated that the General session will take place all day. Will the breakout spaces also be needed all day as well? Are you flexible on the number of breakouts you'll need? Answer 1: It is anticipated that a General session will be held only on the first day (May 2nd) of the conference so no breakout rooms would be necessary that day. Breakout rooms would be needed on the second day (May 3rd) so a room to accommodate a General session would not be needed on this day. It appears at this time that the agency will need a minimum of four (4) breakout rooms but may need as many as six (6) which allows limited flexibility on the number of breakout rooms.
