IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Times are approximated: there is a 5′-10′ Q&A time after every talk and we are very flexible.
- Apart from the many conversations happening during intervals, there will be an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session (where anyone can ask anyone anything -moderated) and a final debate session at the closure (also moderated).
- The organiser reserves the right to change the distribution of the speakers to improve the flow of the meeting.
- The organiser is NOT responsible for any consequence caused by last minute changes or cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances.
- Terms & Conditions and Code of Conduct are available at the registration form.
