Notes

  • Speaker order and talk titles are still subject to change, but we’ll keep this page as up to date as we can.
  • Attendees will be welcome to join whichever strand they are most interested in, and to swap between strands, but please note that the smaller room will only accommodate 50 people comfortably.
  •  The break-out sessions are basically small (4-8 people), facilitated opportunities to discuss the talks and how they might apply to your day-to-day business.
  • There are some WiFi and power facilities at the venue, but we can’t guarantee the WiFi will be continually available to everyone, nor that there are convenient power sockets for your use during talks.
