• Review overview:

The team were really impressed by the range of abstracts for the event, and we received some 140 presentation submissions overall (after excluding any duplications or multiple submissions after consulting those who submitted such). To make the selection, anonymized abstracts were peer reviewed by a special committee from the Philosophy Department at the University of Sussex and from the executive team at the BSP. The committee members individually scored each abstract, and the aggregate at the uppermost tiers were then selected. Focusing upon relevance to the theme and the qualities of each submission, as well as space available at the venue and the desired shape of the event, the team have selected 80 of the abstracts for presentation.

• Accepted speaker advice:

Speaker registration is required during the early bird registration period in order to confirm your attendance as well as facilitate organising, timetabling, and promoting the event. Early bird registration opens mid-February, and we will email all accepted speakers then.
