Confirmed sessions
This is a tentative list of presentations, as of 17 May.
There are 77 presenting submissions (9 workshops, 21 panels, 47 talks) totalling 116 x 30minute slots over the course of the main conference. Plus 6 plenary sessions (keynotes and ceremonies), 26 Posters (so far) for the poster-reception, a photography exhibition, as well as several 'lightning talk' and 'meetup' sessions.
Some things may be added or removed closer to the event but we assume this is 95% accurate. It is grouped by presentation duration then by the order the submission was made. Details such as a schedule, all presenters, detailed abstracts and presentation slides will be published later. Calls for lightning talks and meetups will be made just before, or during, the conference itself. Spaces for Meetups can be booked on the Meetups page.
Note: the column "Proposer" does not mean this is the only presenter - especially in cases of panel sessions.
