Session Formats
Pop-Up Talks – A pop-Up talk is a 15-minute presentation in the style of a TED talk – that is, a talk focused on getting across large, well-articulated ideas in a limited time. The pop-up talks will feature 2-3 speakers and are meant to be interesting discussions. Pop-Up Talks should enliven the symposium by focusing on great ideas and/or best practice that may have “popped up” while working to support in the field. We encourage you to think creatively to invite attendees in new directions.
Submissions should be a simple narrative—of no more than 200 words—that explains the purpose of the pop-up talk, the intended audience, and how the session will proceed. Students are encouraged to apply.
Interactive Dialog Panel – 60 minute panels with 3 speakers and a moderator
10 minute brief presentation on your work/research then guided questions from moderator and audience.
Peer Engagement Break-out Session – 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 90 minutes.
Poster Session – During the poster presentations, Authors will hold discussions with attendees who are circulating among the poster boards.
