The CCWE conferences are structured slightly differently from most others in that presenters give a fifteen minute paper which is followed by a thirty minute discussion, so forty-five minutes overall. During this time the presenter will bring in additional material in response to the discussion. We’ve found this works well, making for a good exchange between all participants that builds during the day.
