We are proud to organise a varied programme that includes a range of presentation formats and opportunities to connect in-person and online.
Academic programme
The academic programme includes 4 keynote speakers: an online keynote for the pre-symposium on Thursday and 3 in-person/hybrid keynotes. There will be 7 hours of parallel sessions, including short papers, workshops, discussions (see Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals). Spaces for lightning talks and poster presentation will further add to the diversity of the programme.
In terms of creative participation, APCCA will host online and in-person Mandala rooms, and PCT Scotland will facilitate online and in-person encounter groups.

All keynote speeches and other plenary sessions will be hybrid. During parallel sessions, some options will be available hybrid, while others (in particular, workshops, encounter group, Mandala room) will be offered either in-person or online. We are committed to offering an academic programme of equal value to online and in-person delegates.
All delegates (in-person and online) will have access to the programme, abstracts and other essential information using the Eventsair app. There is also a facility to connect with each other.
Using this app not only saves paper but also allows us to make sure that the programme can be easily updated throughout the symposium.
Social programme
The social programme includes welcome drinks (Thursday) and a civic reception at the Glasgow City Chambers (Friday). The opportunity to join together for dinner and a traditional ceilidh at the National Piping Centre is offered on the Saturday night for a small additional cost.
