Annual

Session Guidelines:

* Plenary Sessions: Each plenary session will have around 8 speakers/awardees who will individually deliver their acceptance remarks and life message for about 4-5 minutes. Awards will be conferred at the close of the plenary.

* Parallel Sessions: Each session of one hour will have 4 co-speakers on a panel, who will speak for 10-12 minutes each. Balance time will be for interaction and Q&A.

* Moderators: For parallel sessions, it is recommended that speakers select from amongst themselves a moderator who will strictly enforce the time allotted. All speakers in a session will be connected via email in advance to coordinate their discussions. In case a moderator is not selected by the speakers, then a member of the WEF 19 organising committee may be allotted to handle that part.

* Vibe and Flow: We encourage speaking and sharing from the heart (instead of powerpoint). Storytelling format with integral ‘presence’ enables deeper exchange and audience connect. Overall, the vibe of the conference is interactive and celebratory with open hearted sharing and inclusive engagement to inspire, uplift and enable.

(The session topics & timing are subject to change)
