Inspire Presentation

Number of speakers: 1 or 2 presenters
Duration: 14 minutes

A short 14-minute presentation is delivered in person by one or two speakers (maximum two).

Session format

Presentations are grouped into 60-minute session blocks, with up to three presentations per session. Delegates can attend one or stay for all.
The final 15 minutes of each session is reserved for audience Q&A with all presenters.
