Keynote speakers highlighted the conference theme and provided context for the discussions during the panel and conference sessions.

Break-out sessions covered various themes related to ecosystem services and nature-based solutions. You can view session topics and descriptions on the session overview page. Each session was led by one or more hosts. In addition to the break-out sessions, poster sessions was organised.

To improve the science-policy-business nexus, attendees and external parties were offered the opportunity to exhibit their project, business, product or organisation at the Wednesday Exhibition, alongside the second poster session.

On Wednesday, a movie premiere of the film EveryOne, EveryWhere, EveryWhen took place, introduced by the co-directors Anne Poelina and Quentin Grafton.

Networking is an important aspect of conference participation. Several side events, like a conference dinner and excursions, were organised for this purpose. These enable delegates to get to know each other and to enjoy and learn from the beautiful and interesting surroundings of Darwin.
