Presentations may be given as tutorials, technical papers or management
studies.
Technical papers are designed for those who need in-depth knowledge,
whereas 
management studies present case studies of real-life experiences in the 
conference's fields of interest.

Panel sessions will also be timetabled in the conference.  Speakers are
encouraged to participate and indeed, to suggest topics.

Tutorials, which may be of either a technical or management
orientation, 
provide a more thorough presentation, of either a half-day or full-day 
duration.
