• Complete panels for a 90-minute session with up to three panelists using conventional presentations followed by Q&A.
• Organisers strongly encourage sessions that use non-panel formats, including 'chat show’ format with up to six guests and a host or a ‘fishbowl’ format which includes participants from the audience.
• Presentations: Individual presentations of new evidence, methods, approaches and experiences of knowledge translation and brokering in any sector. The organisers will group accepted submissions into similar topic panels.
