Not all experiments are successful

Not all experiments are successful - We've heard you!

In 2022, we trialled releasing pre-recorded versions of our talks so that we could spend more time at the venue focused on interaction and networking. But we heard your feedback - the conference is your dedicated time, it is hard to squeeze in the pre-recorded talks. So we’re back to 100% live for 2023. But don’t worry because we’ve expanding to 2 stages again so that we can keep the forums, debates and other networking opportunities that you loved.
We’re really excited for what will be our best year yet.
