As with many previous INTELEC conferences, the daily technical sessions will begin with a specific technical Plenary. However, for INTELEC 2017 the chosen Plenary subject theme is directly linked to the subject area of an open forum to be held later in the day. That is, the theme is streamed through the day. The day-long stream begins with a duel Plenary session, where a View A and a View B is presented to 'set the scene', then goes through the day with technical presentations aligned with the plenary subject matter papers are group together, and ends up with an 1.5 hr actively-facilitated forum structured around the plenary content and the technical presentations.
There are three Plenary forums-streams planned for INTELEC 2017.
