Presentation Guidelines

The “Anchoring Conversations: Connection, Collaboration, and Co-Creation for the Future” aims to spark active and in-depth discussion. Therefore, the presentation session format differs from the traditional conference presentation formats. To promote and facilitate discussion and constructive feedback, presentation sessions are organized as follows:

32-48 minutes

Four to six presenters share their work, with 8 minutes each to speak. The audience
may ask brief questions for clarification at this stage.

15-20 minutes

In groups of 3-5, delegates discuss the presentations, develop longer and meaningful questions or comments and record them on the provided sheet to the Session Chair.

15-20 minutes

The Session Chair presents the questions received from the audience to the presenters, guiding an open and meaningful exchange of discussion where the audience can respond and join the discussion.

Presenters:

• have a maximum of 8 minutes to present their work.
• should have one or two provocative questions from the work you do to leave with the audience at the end.

Attendees:

• are encouraged to read the abstracts before the sessions.
• will work in group of 3-5 to discuss the presentations and write down thoughtful questions for individual or all presenters, whichever appropriate.

Chairs:

• should ensure that each presenter stays within the 8-minutes presentation limit.
• will monitor the entire session of 75 to 90 minutes.
• will collect the questions from audience during group discussions and select the most appropriate to be posed.
• should facilitate meaningful dialogue by probing interesting ideas, guided by the questions and encourage follow-up responses from presenters and participants.
