Our independent CFP Review Panel, comprised of experts from public and private sectors, industry and academia, will review all submitted abstracts for appropriateness and the all-important "wow" factor. All CFP submissions will be rated and ranked according to score, and then the first round of acceptance notices will be issued. Accepted candidates will then need to respond confirming their acceptance. Should a candidate fail to confirm, the organisers will move down the ranked list to fill the schedule. Please see above for important dates relating to this CFP process.
