Depending on the topic being covered in the session and your familiarity with it, you may wish to encourage and invite colleagues who are specialists in the different relevant areas, to share their experience and expertise with the EPG members, and to offer guidance and advice as needed. However, please obtain the approval of the EPG members before doing so.
