Further Call for Speakers - Annual Conference, Baku, Azerbaijan

The 29th Annual Conference and General Meeting will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 29 September – 02 October.


We would like to thank all IAP members who have previously submitted abstracts in response to the Call for Speakers.  We still have vacancies for speakers for some of the plenary sessions, workshops, Specialist Network Sessions and Special Interest Sessions and so we are again inviting any IAP member who would like to deliver a presentation during one of those sessions to submit an abstract for consideration by the Professional Programme Committee and the IAP.
 
We still have vacancies for speakers at the following conference sessions:
 
* Workshop 2B:  Transparency and public confidence in the criminal justice system.  We are particularly interested in presentations that consider the use of metrics and data to improve transparency and public confidence.  Full details of the content of this session can be found at https://events.eventact.com/iap/36496/WebSitePage/uploads/IAP_Call_for_Speakers_-_Baku_2024_-_final.pdf?webid=31297485956
 
* Plenary 3:  The role of the prosecutor in upholding the rule of law in the digital age – challenges and responses.  A presentation that considers recent Council of Europe developments in this field would be particularly welcome, but we are also seeking presentations from other jurisdictions.  Full details of the content of this session can be found at https://events.eventact.com/iap/36496/WebSitePage/uploads/IAP_Call_for_Speakers_-_Baku_2024_-_final.pdf?webid=31297485956
