This is the intended shape of the day. Slot times can still move while talks are confirmed, and the final timetable is published by 18 September 2026.
Talk titles and abstracts are published as each speaker confirms theirs.
How Q&A works
Ten minutes of every session belongs to the audience, built into the schedule rather than borrowed from it.
- ·One question per person. Ask again once everyone else has had a turn.
- ·Ninety seconds to ask it. The host will step in and move things on at ninety seconds.
- ·No follow-up debates. If an answer opens a longer discussion, continue it with the speaker afterwards.
- ·Questions are taken in order. Submit through Slido during the talk, or raise a hand if the queue is empty.
