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.
