At this point, close to 100 presentations are planned for the conference. Of these there are:
- more than 30 practical workshops
- about 45 with a primary adult numeracy (and perhaps literacy & language) focus
- about 35 with a primary Bridging Mathematics focus
- a significant number reporting on research projects and their implications for teaching
- a significant number addressing themes of adult mathematics in relation to indigenous issues, financial literacy, professional development, vocational education, technology or literacy and language
