This Short Talk session will feature presentations that that focus on placekeeping, community history & storytelling, as well as creative and inclusive engagement practices.

Short Talks are moderated lighting round sessions with multiple short presentations, featuring presenters who will be speaking on a related topic. They are a great way to hear a range of cases, geographies, perspectives and sub-topics within one space! Short Talks are also being held in our largest venue, so they are good sessions to be in if you want some space from the crowd.
