This depends on your role. The consultant will typically interview the leader of each functional area (such as HR or sales). All strategic planning participants will have the opportunity to offer their input in the organizational survey.
You may be asked to make a presentation at the strategy meeting. Please understand that because we have a limited amount of time, not everyone may be asked to present. Your CEO may also assign a reading.

We will ask that you set your electronic devices aside during the meeting, but there will be plenty of breaks throughout the day to check email, etc.
What should I read?
Unless your company assigns reading, none is required. However, these are some of our favorite strategy books:
Momentum: How Companies Decide What to Do Next by Marc Emmer
The Industries of the Future by Alec Ross
The Second Machine Age by Brynjolfsson and McAfee
The Challenger Sale by Dixon and Adamson
