Programme at a Glance<\/h1>\n

Bringing the right people together and identifying the most important topics of discussion is only half the work in organizing a successful conference. How those discussions are structured will play a crucial role in achieving the desired outcomes. The aim of the organizers is to provide participants the opportunity to engage with the topic of the conference in a structured, innovative and thought-provoking manner. To this end, the Organizers of DNC2017 have prepared a preliminary schedule, based on much deliberation \u2013 particularly during the Programme Development Consultation Workshop in November 2015. A variety of both traditional and new session styles are combined in a schedule that ensures a harmonized discussion and synthesis of the daily content \u2013 through the keynote speeches and panel discussions on case studies in the plenary sessions. Simultaneously, the proposed schedule offers multiple opportunities for more intimate rigorous discussions in the parallel sessions and the roundtable discussions.<\/p><\/div><\/section>

This is the preliminary programme<\/strong> for the main conference, 17–19 May 2017, with a pre-conference day on Tuesday 16 May. Session, speaker and case-study titles link through to their detail pages where available.<\/p>
