Gibt's Fragerunde?
Mixing the plural noun with a singular form creates a number mismatch.

Cultural Tip
In German business culture it is polite to ask about the possibility of a Q&A, because it shows you value interaction and clarification. "Gibt's" is colloquial; in very formal contexts (e.g., a board meeting) you might prefer the full form "Gibt es". Also, note that "Fragerunde" can refer to a single session, while the plural "Fragerunden" signals multiple opportunities to ask questions.
