 Each committee member is responsible for making their final selection (from the full 183) of presentations into the general presentation track, which includes selecting 85 presentations. Supplementary to the 85 presentations in the general track the committee is invited to select 10 presentations which will form a reserve list, should a selected presenter pull out.  The reserve list will also be used if a presentation is selected for the academic track (ie one from the reserve list will take its place). The following guidance is made to the committee:
-Presentation selection should consider the overall conference theme of 'user driven'. The local organising committee are seeking a good balance of content (ie technology, business and case studies) and a representation of regional content is important.
