| Conference Electives |
| Being a 'Hybrid' event, there are several kinds of conference sessions taking place in Melbourne. Please note that electives are subject to change as the program develops. |
| HYBRID Sessions are in-person sessions in the conference plenary room, where the content is streamed live to the online audience, and the online audience, using their computer or conference app, can ask questions and interact with the presenters and in-person delegates in real-time. In the grid below, HYBRID sessions are in a blue-shaded background like this one. These sessions will also be recorded, so that both in-person and online delegates can view the recordings on-demand until the end of June. In addition to the electives indicated below, all conference Plenary sessions are Hybrid sessions. |
| RECORDED Sessions are in-person sessions in other conference meeting rooms, that are video recorded, but not streamed live. The recordings will be uploaded to the conference portal / app, where they can be viewed on-demand by both in-person and online delegates until the end of June. In the grid below, RECORDED sessions have an orange-shaded background like this one. |
| IN-PERSON-ONLY sessions take place in other conference rooms, and are not recorded. You need to be physically present at the conference to be able to attend these sessions, so online delegates will be unable to access these sessions. In the grid below, IN-PERSON-ONLY sessions are unshaded, like this one. |
