All keynote talks and panel discussions are based in the Main Hall, which holds all 500 people and the stalls. However, after booking your ticket, you will also be contacted at a later date to pick your chosen breakout sessions before the conference begins. This is due to capacity issues at the venue as the smaller classroom sessions contain limited seating and so are based on a first-come, first-served basis. Please do read the talk summaries carefully in advance to prepare you for your choices. Each page for the breakout sessions will tell you if it is in a classroom or the Main Hall. They are also labelled session one, session two, and so on, so you can see where sessions will run simultaneously - so you must pick one from each session number.

If there are no available classroom breakout sessions left to book once you complete your form, don't worry, as we have curated an excellent stream of talks in the Main Hall throughout the day to speak to the themes of power, populism, and politics, so you do not miss out. The Main Hall sessions will also be beamed out live so you can watch them online - tickets for this feature of the conference will be announced soon.
