Ask the experts

New for 2025, Ask the Experts is a quick and dynamic way to ask the questions you want to know the answers to.  There's no agenda and no selling - just leading industry experts here to answer your questions! 

It will be hosted each day in the Atrium Bar - Saturday 2-3pm and Sunday 11-12pm.  

How will it work? 

A hand picked team of experts will be available for 1 hour each day to answer any questions you have on their subject area. 
Each expert will host ten 6 minute sessions. 
If the chair in front of your chosen expert is free, take a seat and ask your question - but be quick, when the 6 minutes are up, it's time to move on!
