Paper presentation
Presentations will last for 30 minutes (20 minutes presentation plus 10 minutes Q and A). Each paper should be clearly aligned to the symposium theme of grounded theory and identify if it is a think/opinion piece, report on original research or an update on a work in progress. The contribution should provide an insight into your work and stimulate reader engagement and debate.

Round table
Want to share ‘work in progress’ but not yet ready to present a formal paper? Lead a small ‘round table’ conversation without PowerPoint. Round table conversations will last for 30 minutes including Q and A.

Lightening talk
A lightning talk at our conference is a 5-minute presentation with presenters being encouraged to use only 3-5 slides. However, we encourage presenters to be creative with their content as well as succinct in their delivery. The talks could introduce a new project, topic or idea, or present some current research if you don’t feel ready to talk for a longer period of time.
