The power of this form of meeting comes from the self-organized agenda setting and group discussions by the participants who bring their  passion and responsibility to the table.  This format creates unique opportunities for intentional and action-oriented discussions among diverse groups of people to explore areas of collaboration, and to share resources and information. It unleashes the leadership of every participant who is passionate about the issue at hand and wants to take action for solution.
