Q u e s t i o n Te x t i n g F r o m T h e F l o o r
This year’s conference will once again offer the audience the popular option of texting questions to a moderator who will collect and organize them for the speaker during the Q&A section of the presentation. Questions from the floor will be taken first and then texted
questions. If there are too many questions to be answered in the time allowed, the moderator will first choose those questions which
would appeal to the entire group.

YPs are planning to gather at The Pelican House on Citiplace Court for a Conference Unwind after Day 2 of the Conference. This is a
great chance to catch up with other YPs and to find out more about the YP Group. Not a YP? Join us anyway for appetizers and unwind in a relaxed, fun atmosphere after a day of presentations.
