This panel brings together experts and practitioners to discuss best practices and real-world experiences in community engagement and collaboration-based siting. Panelists will explore strategies for fostering open dialogue, addressing community concerns, and building long-term partnerships that support project success. Attendees will gain insights into effective engagement models, lessons learned from recent projects, and the evolving role of transparency and trust in the siting process. Join us for a dynamic conversation on how young professionals can help strengthen relationships between the nuclear sector and the communities it serves.
