What is a Live Session?
During Live Sessions, a live moderator welcomes the audience and then starts the first presentation. After the presentation, presenters come on screen for a live Q&A. Audience submits questions via a chat box and attendees can vote on which ones they would most like to be answered. Please note that some Q&A will also be held at the end with all presenters.
