A lunch and learn is a departure from your typical workday meeting. Unlike meetings that tend to adhere to known formats, lunch and learns are decidedly non-standard events with varying topics, presenters, and structures. They offer the opportunity to share fun, interesting, or otherwise relevant knowledge in a casual and apprehension-free environment. Attendees walk away feeling upbeat, inspired, and more-closely connected with their peers.
