Maria, Ian, and Simon will be the hosts of the opening session of our conference. They will welcome attendees and provide an introduction to the conference theme, highlighting the importance of the topics that will be discussed over the next few days.
After the welcome and introduction, we will discuss the ground rules and guidelines for the conference to ensure a productive and respectful environment for all attendees. To get everyone warmed up and ready for the sessions ahead, we will also do a quick icebreaker activity.
