Talks are typically accompanied by a visual presentation. The 20-minute format ensures that more ideas get shared in a crisp and succinct manner. -- A panel discussion is a 30-minute shared conversation with more than one presenter. It may or may not include a concurrent visual presentation. Designing for Sustainability Sustainable design supports environmental components by promoting a whole lifecycle approach to design. It explicitly encourages all those involved in design to consider the longer-term implications of their system for their users and therefore for the environment. Sustainable design directly addresses two pillars, economic and social. More about this years theme.
