Overview of Town Halls in Zoho Connect

What is Town Hall? 

Town Hall is a place to start Q&A sessions with the entire network, or a group, or with specific members around a topic. Town Halls provide a platform for members to raise questions and get them answered directly from the experts in the network. For example, the HR team can conduct a town hall on the company's internal policies where employees can get their doubts clarified and also provide their suggestions. Similarly, town halls can be conducted on any topic, or it could simply be an AMA (Ask me anything) session, where a topic expert or a manager fields question from other members.
