The conference format enables delegates to contribute to the programme in a variety of ways.

Delegates with refereed papers may present in any format they choose, delegates with reviewed abstracts are excluded from the Symposia.

Plenary sessions
Keynote presentations that support the conference theme.
Symposia
20-minute refereed paper presentations that are grouped around a theme, either by the conference committee or by the presenters themselves. A panel discussion will follow. The theme may be discipline based, eg nurse education, or issue based, eg technology.
Round Tables
10-minute presentations of refereed papers or reviewed abstracts each followed by a conversation. Delegates will choose one of the three presenters to talk with round a table.
Workshops
