FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Why is the conference being held across two days?
Based on feedback from the 2023 conference, we decided to extend this year's event across two days to increase accessibility. This schedule allows more colleagues to attend, provides flexibility for those with other commitments, and ensures that sessions are scheduled before colleagues with childcare responsibilities need to leave. Our goal is to create a more inclusive and accommodating experience for all attendees.
