Oral Presentations allow 5 minutes to present your work with a poster for visual effect followed by a facilitated discussion among presenters and conference participants. The moderator will invite participants to ask questions and to share experiences pertinent to themes brought up in the presentations. At the conference, contributors and participants will meet in groups of about 30 persons for two-hour sessions. Use this format when writing about research: Introduction – Methods -Results – Discussion – Conclusion.

Ubuntu 2024 is very proud to host the 2 hour-long oral presentation and discussion sessions where students and professionals can present their work using a poster for visual effect. Usually, the presenter has worked on this project for one or more years. They will present the timeline, agenda, goals, results, difficulties, implementation possibilities, etc. Oral Presentations are not always research based, but can also be used to describe a project or organization. The discussion is guided by a moderator who will also seek to facilitate future collaborations based on the projects that are presented. The projects are on different topics linked to a theme and can be in different stages (research project, running project, concluded project, or study). The presenters of Oral Presentations are key to the Scientific value of the Ubuntu 2024 conference. It is their projects that attendees of the Ubuntu 2024 conference come to learn about.

AVAILABLE for PHYSICAL and VIRTUAL PARTICIPANTS to PRESENT.
