• Conduct a survey after the PI meeting
• Program Committee members organize a list of topics on a google doc
  • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OhGFr5hNZjrK-hG3WY90Bax6XSHLM9C7SDd1Y14TzT0/edit 
  • Iterate the doc, update the list and discuss ranking in Slack
• The topic list can be inspired from the original HDR PI meeting
  • https://bigdatahubs.org/initiatives/harnessing-the-data-revolution/
  • Take away messages from that meeting can help
  • Review the original meeting note and assemble a list
• Open questions to be discussed:
  • Should the breakout sessions be themed under specific topic?
    • 3PIs from each institute should go across breakouts 
    • To avoid Silos, we should  emphasize the importance of “connectivity” as an immersive theme
    • Several round tables in one big room vs several small breakout rooms?
  • How to organize panel topics?
    • It might make best to rely on the PIs
    • we leave this to the discretion of the Panel organizers
    • Panel should be forward thinking. Panel leaders will drive this
• Meet again in the week of July 15
  • Finalize topics for panels and breakout sessions
  • Identify leading organizer in each session
