  • Table session: Be a digital hero/table chef and discussion leader. Tell a small audience of maximum 18 people about your ideas, project or plans and give them room to discuss. The idea is 50% speaker time, 50% discussion time. The session lasts 25 minutes and will be given twice (during one afternoon). To give us an idea of your session we ask you to pick one of the four subthemes and write a short proposal (maximum 250 words) for your session.
  • Workshop session: Give an in depth lecture about your ideas, project or plans and let the audience (of maximum 50 people) interact with or discus about your subject. A workshop session lasts one hour. To give us an idea of your session proposal we ask you to pick one of the four subthemes and write a short proposal (maximum 250 words).
