Presentation Formats
30 minute oral presentation - similar topic presentations will be delivered in the same session

We always encourage interaction with participants, whether within or at the end of the allocated slot so please leave enough time when planning your presentation. For 30 mins we suggest 24 mins + 6 min Q&A and 20 mins we suggest 16 mins + 4 min Q&A. With such a packed programme we do have to keep to time.
