Everyone at the Peer Award conference talks is a Judge (just not for their own presentation).
Individuals that attend all of a day’s talks from one category are considered part of the Judging Panel for that category, and their views can carry additional weight.
It is the views of the Live Judges that determine the winners of the category Peer Awards that we announce at conference, and the finalists for the overall Peer Awards that we celebrate at the Grand Final.
