We received a strong response to the call for papers and are currently completing the final review and confirmation process. The programme continues to evolve as additional contributors confirm their participation. The papers, panel, lightning talks and posters listed below have already been confirmed by their presenters and are therefore included in the current programme. Additional sessions and abstracts will be added over the coming days as confirmations are received, and the full conference schedule will be finalised and published shortly.
