When entering please consider the following points:

  • Relevance: The presentation should be relevant to the themes of the conference, addressing the needs and expectations of the audience.
  • Originality: The presentation should offer a fresh perspective or innovative approach, offer new case studies and up-to-date content and information.
  • Clarity: The presentation should be clear, concise, and easy to understand. The speaker should be able to effectively communicate complex ideas and concepts to a diverse audience of educators, architects, engineers, and other stakeholders.
  • Practicality: The presentation should offer practical solutions or insights in delivering/managing/maintaining educational buildings and spaces. Attendees should be able to take away tangible strategies and examples of best practice that they can implement in their own work.
  • Time: The presentation should be able to be delivered in a timely manner and if too long should be adaptable to be able to fit into the programme.
