Interactive Poster
The interactive poster session will take place during the Forum. The digital posters will be made available online from Monday 28 April, 2025 - Thursday 1 May, 2025. During this time, participants will be able to review the posters and leave comments, observations and questions. Interactive posters are a great way for learning the ropes by presenting interesting findings and experiences for discussion with other participants. The Forum would particularly value contributions on the topic of learning from failures.
Knowledge Fayre
A chance to share knowledge mobilisation experiences, case studies, lessons learned and more during repeated small, intimate 15 minute online group sessions. After 15 minutes delegates will be moved around to another session/group meaning that you get a whole new audience for your material! You will need to be prepared to run your 15 minute session up to 6 times. It may be tiring, but it is a great way to improve group interaction, enable lots of conversation and receive input in a short time frame.
