All Special Session proposals must be submitted here. If accepted, your proposed speaker/s will be asked to either give a presentation at the event or submit a full paper for publication (depending on your preference) to be reviewed and published.

The Organising Committee welcome proposals for Special Sessions which offer an interactive format:

• Case study of a successful project or dissemination of a recent project.
• Full Q&A panel discussion.
• Fireside Chat – an observed conversation between a subject matter expert and interviewer.
• Informal ‘TED Style’ talks with or without slides.
• Oxford Style Debate to include subjects debated with strong opposing views.
• Workshop sessions exploring possible solutions to a presented challenge.
• Other creative or hybrid styles
   

Special Session proposals which include at least one of the following will be viewed favourably:

• Significant industry or government participation or involvement in the content development.
• Industrial application-oriented.
• Collaborative cross-disciplinary topics or teams.
• Creative formats outlined above that engage the audience. They are likely to be of interest to an industry audience.
   

Special Sessions should avoid:

• Established and well-documented topics.
• Straightforward academic style lectures.
• The promotion of a particular product or service – sales pitches will be rejected.
• Incomplete plans for session development. Speakers proposed should be well informed and, where possible, already confirmed to participate.

• Following the review of full papers, successful authors will be invited to attend and present their work at PEMD Global 2026 by PowerPoint Presentation or Poster Presentation

• Each accepted paper or poster should have at least one registered author. The author must be present at the conference to present the submission, or the paper will not be published.
