Most of the time together will be fairly open-ended with ample time for discussion. We may do a couple of lecture-style presentations on Friday evening, and we may also do an agenda setting activity where we prompt people to share what they want to discuss. The basic framework of the agenda will come together soon and we'll share with all RSVPs; in the meantime, you can take a look at the agenda from our meeting in Philly: https://libraryfreedom.wiki/html/public_html/index.php/Main_Page/Regional_hubs/Mid_Atlantic/Philly
