Each talk lasts 20 to 30 minutes, Q&A included, keeping it fast-paced, informative, and inspiring. Perfect for networking, learning, and sparking new ideas !

We are of course looking for contributors to provide presentations. We don't expect sophisticated slideshows or complex computer graphics, the aim is to emphasize knowledge, get people interested and asking questions. If you are interested in contributing, please submit your topic and an abstract of 1-2 sentences (20-50 words) to the point of contact.
