Roundtables & Chats
Curated Conversations. Real Access.
Coffee Chats are small, curated networking conversations designed to create meaningful access between attendees and experienced leaders across industries, functions, and career stages.
Each 45-minute session pairs one senior leader with a small group of attendees for candid, practical conversations grounded in shared interests, industries, and career goals. Whether you’re exploring your next move, seeking perspective, or expanding your network, Coffee Chats create space for authentic connection in a more personal setting.

WHAT ARE REAL TALK ROUNDTABLES
Honest Conversations That Don’t Happen on the Main Stage
Real Talk Roundtables are interactive small-group discussions designed to create the kind of candid, community-driven conversations that rarely happen at large conferences.
Unlike traditional panels or presentations, Roundtables prioritize participation, perspective-sharing, and authentic dialogue. Each session brings together attendees around a shared topic, industry, identity, or professional experience in a loosely structured environment designed for openness, reflection, and connection.
Whether discussing leadership, identity, career growth, startups, AI, finance, healthcare, or navigating complex workplaces, these conversations are designed to go deeper than surface-level networking.
What to Expect
Small-group discussions (8–10 attendees)
Facilitated peer conversation
Interactive, community-driven format
Honest dialogue and shared experience
Meaningful connection across the MLT community
Some of the most impactful moments at MLT20 happen outside the main stage.
Coffee Chats and Real Talk Roundtables were created to make a large conference feel more personal, creating space for mentorship, peer connection, candid dialogue, and the kinds of conversations that often lead to long-term relationships and unexpected opportunities.
These experiences are intentionally designed to help attendees move beyond exchanging business cards and into conversations that are memorable, practical, and genuinely valuable.
