- Relevance of the subject
- Strength of the angle taken
- Originality of the content proposed

In addition, the agenda development team works to ensure that each session and the overall conference programme remain balanced.

Every submission is treated in the strictest confidence and the programme development team is very happy to sign non-disclosure agreements to ensure the inclusion of any commercially sensitive material that would strengthen your proposal.
