How we handle editorial
Clearly disclosed, editorially approved.
Partners can propose and host sessions. Every partner session is labelled as such in the agenda and on signage, and every one is approved by the FLIRT programme team against the same editorial standard as the rest of the programme. Partners do not own a venue's agenda, choose who else speaks, or approve other people's sessions.
