Panels can be either single-length (2 hours, 4 presentation slots) or double-length (4 hours, 8 presentations slots). To enable conference attendees to move between presentations, panels must keep to the regular conference schedule (i.e. 20-minute presentations followed by 10-minute discussion).

Panel proposals must include:

1. a 500-word panel description, including a statement of how the panel relates to the conferences theme and its key questions, aims, and objectives,
2. a list of panel contributors, and
3. individual 500-word abstracts for each panel contribution.
