Planning is now well underway for this year’s Market Focus sessions, the business-level presentations delivered by top professionals, held within the exhibition.

Earlier this week, Emma Harvey from the ECOC Team met with some of the Committee to start discussions on what the new issues are facing the industry and the key topics we should focus on for this year’s sessions and to finalise the Call for Speakers, due to launch next month.

Each year just 30 speaking slots are available across the three days of the exhibition, so each slot is highly sought after. So how do we choose who gets to present? Over the past few years the Market Focus theatre has grown in success and we have received an increasing number of presentation proposals each year. Each and every proposal is reviewed by members of the committee and ‘scored’ against various criteria. The highest scoring presentations are then selected and grouped with presentations of a similar theme.

We will be sharing further details shortly and plan to release our Call for Speakers in April, if you would like to be considered for a speaking slot at Market Focus and would like to receive further information as it is released, please email the Marketing team.
