Programme
Format
The event will consist of two parts:
- Day 1-2: user training of the various techniques required for image-based modelling
- Day 3-4: users’ workshop with keynote talks, presentations and a networking reception
A general outline of the programme is shown below. An updated list of speakers is available on the keynote speaker page. More details (such as specific talk timings and titles) will be added nearer the time. You may browse last year's programme and download presentations for an example of the sessions at IBFEM-4i.

Information for speakers
Keynote speakers will have 45 minutes (35 mins + 10 mins Q&A), other presenters are given 25 minutes (20 mins + 5 mins Q&A).
A computer will be available to presenters, or they may connect via standard HDMI or VGA. If presenters wish to use their own equipment which does not use these connectors they will need to provide their own adapters.
We would kindly ask that all presenters arrive in the break before their session and introduce themselves to the session chair to upload slides or test equipment.
