• 30-Minute Talks — Quick, focused sessions ideal for showcasing a specific idea, demonstrating a tool or prototype, presenting early results, or delivering concise insights.
• 50-Minute Talks — Longer sessions suited for deeper dives, allowing speakers to walk through research, tell a more complete story, share detailed lessons learned, or explore a topic with broader context and analysis.

Presentations aim to:

• Spotlight new technical work, innovations, and research efforts.
• Share real-world experiences — including what went right and what didn’t — to help others learn.
• Bring attention to community-driven efforts and emerging priorities.
• Spark curiosity and conversation by introducing fresh ideas or actionable techniques.
