Keynotes
Seven keynotes (45–60 min) from senior Syrian academics and diaspora leaders. Recorded openly and published after the conference.
Workshops

Expert Forums
Moderated panels — four speakers and one moderator, sixty minutes — different perspectives on one question.
Podcasts & Personal Journeys

Student Symposium
Student-led research, projects, and pitches — six competition categories with prizes for student winners inside Syria.
