The Committee recognizes that the programming changes will result in a reduction in speaker spaces so a focus will be on selecting presentations that tackle the many challenging issues in disaster risk reduction among other topics. Engagement and collaboration among attendees will be supported through the applied use of technology.

• DEM Talks – TedTalk-esque presentations from up to two SME experts
• Project Updates Pre-Recorded or live: 5-10 minutes from previous events.

There will be some opportunities for pre-recorded content and will support those presentations as needed.
