ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Who is Manuel Tanger?
Introducing our Global Track Chair, Manuel has the challenging task of working with each of the session
Track Chairs and participants to bring together the conclusions of the presentations. He is the glue which
binds the conference programme together and help us on our journey through the two information-filled
days.
With an Msc in Physics from Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Manuel has worked for Mercer HR
Consulting, Danone, Vitasnella, Qbian (developing programs for Nokia) and is co-founder of Beta-i, an
organization actively promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in Portugal.
Expect to see a lot of Manuel throughout the programme!

The TIC Talks
The ‘TIC Talks’ is a plenary session comprising short discussions/presentations to give a brief introduction to each of the topics which
follow in each of the breakout rooms (Parallel Presentations) and help you to choose which session you will want to attend.
Presentation ID Numbers Live Demonstrations
Each of the sessions has a unique ID number, for example
‘TIC19001’. You can use these presentation IDs as a reference
and to find materials uploaded to the ICPA/EuroPris websites
after the event. Please note that materials are only shared
where we have consent from the speakers so not everything
you see will be available afterwards.
On the Wednesday at 5pm there will be a number of Live
Demonstrations set up in the Almada Negreiros room. We
know it will have been a long day but we encourage you give
your support - come along and see some of the latest initiatives
of technology in corrections! (refreshments will be available)
