Participation Guidelines
Below you will find general guidelines for the program participation. These guidelines are distributed to all program participants to establish expectations and to make sure everyone is equally informed. One of the aims of the ICD is to encourage dialogue and we therefore hope above all that you will be willing to share your ideas, experiences and expertise during the conference. We are working to a very tight schedule, so punctuality is extremely important. We expect you to be on time so that sessions can start promptly and enough time is left for discussion. Please respect the programs speakers and participants and do not converse with others during speeches. Please make certain that mobile phones are turned off at all times during the lectures. Mobile phones should not be used during the program to make personal phone calls or to conduct personal business. If it is absolutely necessary to receive/make a personal phone call, please make certain that this is conducted outside of ICD/conference premises. Participants are expected to dress smart casual during the program.
