Have your say: audience participation and live streaming
#NEF20 will be freely live streamed, and we will be using an audience participation tool to allow delegates (those who are with us on the day, and those who join us remotely via the live streaming) to submit and up- and down-vote questions from Monday 2nd March, as well as participate in polls on the day. Information will be released in late January 2020.
