What is a conversational event?

This congress will follow an interactive conversational format. Each speaker will present a case study for 25 minutes and conclude their presentation with a question to the audience. The remaining 15-20 minutes of each session will be given to the audience to discuss thespeakers talk and the question at their tables before going into a traditional Q&A.

This conversational format is intended to create an informal, relaxed atmosphere in which you, the conference participants, can get to know each other, learn from each other and build relationships.

KM Congress 2012 will feature a debate on capturing tacit knowledge using social technologiesPublic Forum Debate Format

A. In Public Forum Debate, each of two sides (Team A and Team B) has an equal amount of time to present their arguments.

1. The format is composed of eleven parts, each of which has a defined purpose and a set of rules.Eight of these sections consist of speeches - that is, presentations by a designated speaker. The remaining three sections consist of crossfires. These open-ended discussions are similar to cross examination except that the roles of the individual questioning and the individual answering are not pre-assigned to either team, save for an introductory question.

2. The format of a Public Forum Debate is as follows — note that "Team A" and "Team B" can stand for either an Affirmative or a Negative depending on the outcome of the initial coin-toss:
Team A First Speech 4 minutes Team A First Speaker
Team B First Speech 4 minutes Team B First Speaker

Crossfire 3 minutes Team A First Speaker leads by questioning Team B

First Speaker, then floor is open

Team A Second Speech 4 minutes Team A Second Speaker
Team B Second Speech 4 minutes Team B Second Speaker

Crossfire 3 minutes Team A Second Speaker leads by questioning Team B

Second Speaker, then floor is open

Team A Summary 2 minutes Team A First Speaker
Team B Summary 2 minutes Team B First Speaker

Grand Crossfire 3 minutes All four debaters, the floor is open

Team A Final Focus 1 minute Team A Second Speaker
Team B Final Focus 1 minute Team B Second Speaker

3. Each debate also includes four minutes of preparation time — two minutes for each team. This time is not scheduled in any particular place in the sequence of sections, and is instead taken at the discretion of each team, in whatever amounts the team desires.
