Selection Process
The content selection process is overseen by the Conference Organising Committee and guided by the feedback we receive from the Conference Advisory Committees and associated organisations. Our experience has been that we receive many more proposals and ideas than we can include, and as a general rule, approximately one third of all proposals received are accepted.

Selection is made on the basis of the proposal¡¯s relevance to the conference themes, the experience and knowledge of the applicants, the practicalities of including the proposal within the conference format and a combination of the proposal¡¯s innovativeness and practical value to conference participants.

Please note that priority is given to African-based speakers for proposals being made on behalf of initiatives undertaken on the Continent.
