The main programmatic element of the IDC is a series of 25 panels consisting of three to four experts from government, private sector, academic and non-governmental organizations. Panel sessions are one hour and 30 minutes each with time equally split between panelists' presentations and discussions with participants. The panels are organized into five specific development tracks running in parallel. This set up aims to help participants, with strong interests in a particular development track, navigate the conference.
