Conference Programme
Presentation formats
Lecture
A presenter delivers an oral presentation (often using PowerPoint) with questions posed at the end of each presentation. All presenters need to allow time for questions as part of the time allowed for their presentation slot.
Oral
A presenter delivers an oral presentation (often using PowerPoint) with a 10-15 minute Q&A at the end of each session.
PechaKucha style
20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each (6 minutes and 40 seconds in total). The format keeps presentations concise and fast-paced. The rules regarding its composition are likened to visual Haiku and connect seamlessly with well-developed narration as the only rules.
Short stories
Presenters in this format speak from the stage for 15 minutes only with no slides or props, in rapid fire, one after another. The idea is to talk to the theme of “passion” with a story, which others can learn from or be inspired by. Q&A will follow this.
Workshop
A moderator (and possibly invited others) runs a session based on a specific topic and the delegates present are expected to provide most of the interaction and discussion. Workshop sessions are 40 minutes long, allowing for a 10 minute transition time.
