9:30 - 10:30 am	Prepare for Landing – Taking Back what you Learned Often over a long flight you are fortunate enough to meet interesting people, share stories and connect with a complete stranger as you journey through the atmosphere. MBA CSEA is a lot like that. Join us Friday morning as we share memorable nuggets from sessions attended. This final session will be semi-structured to allow you to follow-up with colleagues you met or reconnected with at our opening Take Off Sessions on Wednesday. We hope you will use this time to make those connections before you return to your origination point.
