The conference will take part in two consecutive days and will begin around noon day before the official beginning of the defence ministers meeting. The conference will be thus the first to kick of the security debate in Bratislava by the Slovak Minister of Defence and some of his key counterparts and the NATO Secretary General. The conference is considered as the part of the official NATO Defence Ministers Meeting in Bratislava and will be thus included in all communication at NATO and Slovak Ministry of Defence level. The time schedule and format will be coordinated with the organizing team of the defence ministers meeting. The conference will be divided to several discussion panels with a moderator and mostly four speakers in each panel discussion. The discussion will be leaded by an experienced moderator as a television interview, or debate while enabling the participation of the audience in the discussion as well. During the conference, we will allocate special time for keynote speakers in several keynote speeches.
