Call for Speakers

Interested speakers are invited to submit an abstract of 200 – 450 words that address the conference theme and topics. Abstracts submitted for consideration should outline the presentation summary, main challenges, opportunities, outcomes and key take away points for delegates. Supporting documents such as photos or videos are encouraged. Submissions close 27 April.

Presentation Types

Case Study Presentation/ General Presentation (29 min)

The abstract is a short, informative summary. Speakers are invited to take a fresh approach in their abstract submissions – addressing the latest global trends and challenges in relation to the conference topics.

Workshop (45 min or 60 min)

Workshops will require an interactive format which will formulate discussion and give attendees the option to engage in activities, small groups and work through possible solutions.

City Innovation Showcase/ Snap Shot Presentation (7 min slideshow)

The snap shot session is designed to give delegates a quick overview of your project or initiative through a series of slides without much detailed talking. The slides should do most of the talking and be visually interesting.
