The ePoster format is intended to provide presenters with the option to share and examine a problem, issue, and/or solution through informal, brief presentations focused on effective practices, research findings, or technical solutions. Presenters will prepare a prerecorded presentation on their topics not to exceed 10 minutes in length. Maximum of two presenters, please.
​
Live Presentation (25 minutes)
Live presentations are opportunities to share topics of interest, lessons learned, foresight, or evidence of impact related to the conference tracks. Live sessions are an opportunity to present in detail on a project, idea, or experience. These can be done individually or with multiple presenters. These sessions should be innovative, thought provoking, and engaging. Maximum of three presenters plus a moderator.
​
Interactive Workshop (25 minutes)
Offered in a 25-minute format, interactive workshops provide participants a deeper examination of various topics, facilitated by leaders with extensive experience in those areas. Workshops are highly interactive and give participants the chance to discuss in-depth approaches to challenges they are facing on campus, share solutions, and learn strategies. Maximum of three presenters plus a moderator.
​
Panel Discussion (25 minutes)
Panel Discussions allow participants to hear a variety of perspectives from a group of experts or leaders on a topic of interest related to the conference tracks. The format for these sessions can include, but is not limited to, moderated interviews, question-and-answer sessions, or open-discussions.
