Session Descriptions
There are two types of concurrent sessions that we will be hosting at the conference.
Community Conversations – 75 minute concurrent session
Community Conversations provide a venue through which presenters bring a question or concept to the table for deliberation. Presenters introduce the question or concept and participants engage with one another in dialogue around that topic. Community Conversations are highly interactive and allow for space to deliberate and discuss field-level issues. Community Conversations will not have AV support, as the intention is to make these sessions true dialogues among participants.
Thematic poster session – 75 minute concurrent session
Posters will be thematically grouped with 3-5 posters sharing a common theme or focus and will be set up in a breakout room. Each poster in a Thematic Poster Session group will be displayed on a poster board (no additional audiovisual aids are permitted). Conference participants will have 15 minutes to view the posters in that session, 3 minutes to hear oral summaries of each poster, 30 minutes for group discussion and 15 minutes for closing reflections. An invited moderator facilitates discussion and encourages participants to raise questions and share experiences pertinent to themes raised by the posters.
