 With migrations from India and Iran, mostly in the last half century, Zarathushtis are now a worldwide “Community Without Borders”. Never before has there been a greater need to keep these pockets of Zarathushtis connected.  The Coming Together Roundtables provide such a forum — to bring together Zarathushtis spread around the world to dialogue and to action on issues of global import.   Thus far four Roundtables have been held: (1) in London during the World Congress in 2005; (2) and (3) in Mumbai in January 2007 and January 2008; and (4) in Houston in December 2008.

 Further sessions of the Round Table will be held during the Congress, as follows:

Round Table Session 2: Wed Dec 30^th, 10:00 – 11:00 am at Crowne Plaza, Room 3.

Round Table Session 3: Thurs Dec 31^st, 9:00 – 10:00 am at Crowne Plaza, Room 3
