Each person who submitted a topic idea gets to pitch their idea to the rest of the group in 1-2 minutes using the slides that were submitted (see "Unconference Sessions" in the Mattermost chat).

22. Topic group formation

4/14/25, 10:50 AM

Plenary Session

In this session we will see how many people are interested in which topic. Topic groups are usually comprised of 2-7 participants.

Topics that too few people are interested in will not be pursued further.
If groups get too big, we may split them into subtopics.

Choosing a topic can be difficult, yet you should choose one ;)
If you are unhappy with your choice, you can always switch....
