Session Schedule
The WAHED 2020 event features a full day of sessions from the opening keynote, to lightning talks, long-form presentations, and a workshop. All confirmed sessions can be found below, with more details added in the coming days. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the details are correct, notifications for corrections can be emailed to the team.
Registration
Registration is now open. When registering, you will have the choice to attend all sessions across the day, or a select few. Registration is essential, and helps the organisers to commit staff facilitator ratios to support a successful day. The entire day will be run in Microsoft Teams, and there is time on the day to become acquainted with the platform (and help is available throughout the day).
