Eligibility
There are a limited number of speaking slots available so here are some things to keep in mind when preparing your submission:

    • Workshops – 75-90 minutes: These sessions involve a mix of lecture, discussion, and exercises. Workshops should be highly interactive and offer actionable tools to help participants address a specific challenge.
    • Case Studies – 60 minutes: These engaging sessions highlight a real-life situation or problem that can be analyzed and used for discussion and learning.
    • Ignite Talks – 5 minutes: These talks are ideal for illustrating a big idea, a series of lessons learned, or a compelling story. Speakers get 5 minutes on stage and must use 20 slides with each slide advancing automatically after 15 seconds.
