This year, we have four formats for presentations:

• Presentation
  This format features a focused talk or lecture designed to inform and inspire participants within a 50-minute timeframe. Presenters will share insights, case studies, or theoretical perspectives that spark new ideas, offering participants valuable takeaways for practice, creation, or learning.
• Workshop
  This interactive, 50-minute format allows participants to actively engage in hands-on activities, exercises, or collaborative problem-solving. Facilitators will guide participants in applying concepts, exploring tools, or developing skills that they can directly implement in their own contexts.
• Roundtable
  This 50-minute, discussion-based format features 3 to 5 speakers who foster open dialogue among participants, focusing on shared experiences, challenges, or emerging questions. Moderators will facilitate an exchange of perspectives, encouraging participants to collectively explore solutions, strategies, or insights that address key issues in practice, creation, or learning.
• Demonstration
  This practical, 50-minute format highlights specific tools, technologies, or methods through a live or guided demonstration. Presenters will showcase functionality, benefits, or unique applications, enabling participants to see these solutions in action and understand their potential for real-world implementation.
