The Sessions
See The_Plan for the current programme.
If you wish to do a presentation and have not signed up, there is still space for Soapbox or Posters. The other sessions are now full
Remember, there are four basic types of session available:
- Soapbox/Posters: an informal presentation with a maximum time of 20 minutes including any Q&A. These are held in alcoves off the main Playfair Library, and will accommodate up to a dozen people. These are idea for someone who has a complex poster they want to talk about, or has been working on an in-house project, or has some in-progress work they want to demo & get feedback on. [After 20 minutes, we will ring a bell, and your session is over. Each session will be repeated in the afternoon.]
- An Audience With....: A more formal presentation, looking at a 30 minute slot (including Q&A), with a projector and rows of chairs.
- Group Improv.: A mix of Birds of a Feather sessions and (informal) Panel Sessions, these are hour-long slots where some more in-depth discussion can take place. These sessions will be in separate rooms, and can accommodate groups with a range of sizes.
- Poster Bazaar: This will now be rolled in with the soapbox session.
