Programme

Many thanks to all who submitted a proposal. We had a very high number of submitted abstracts, from more than 15 countries.

Instructions for accepted speakers

Acceptance

Please let us know by 31 August if you intend to accept our invitation to speak by replying to the email you have received.

If you haven’t submitted a short bio (c.50 words) so far, please send this along with your acceptance.

Formats and duration

In order to maximise our opportunities for acceptance we are asking all those delivering a full-length paper to speak to a maximum of 15 minutes. Lightning talks will be 7 minutes.

The demands of the programme will mean that Chairs will need to be strict about length.

Time zones

The conference will include speakers from several time zones and we will be running a programme of long days – with breaks in between panels. Please hold 9am to 9pm (UK time) on 5-7 November in your calendars. We shall keep time zones in mind when we construct the programme, and sessions will be recorded.

Further information

We shall begin working on the programme in early September and this page will be updated once we have finalised the full schedule.

We look forward very much to working with you in what promises to be a fascinating conference, and wish you a happy and productive summer (if it is indeed summer where you are based!).
