The agenda is a statement of belief.

principle — attributed to Richard Attias

What sessions exist, who is on stage, what order they appear in, and what is omitted are not neutral choices. They declare what the convener thinks matters. Audiences read the agenda for what it includes and for what it pointedly does not. An agenda built to avoid offense ends up saying nothing.

Attias on agenda design as the most public declaration a platform makes about its worldview.
