Consensus Conference

A Consensus Conference is a structured meeting where experts, stakeholders, and sometimes the public come together to discuss a specific issue or topic. The goal is to gather diverse perspectives, share knowledge, and reach a collective agreement or recommendation. Participants evaluate evidence, engage in dialogue, and consider different viewpoints. This process helps ensure that decisions are informed and reflect a broad consensus rather than just a single opinion. Consensus Conferences are often used in health care, technology, and policy discussions to inform decision-making and guide future actions.
