Types of Sessions
- Concurrent Sessions
These 30- or 60-minute sessions are primarily in presentation format and comprise the majority of convention sessions. The focus of these sessions is on sharing information, such as best practices and research results. Proposals for 60 minute sessions may include more than one presentation (as in symposia). In addition, concurrent presentations may be "bundled" with others of related content to form one 60 minute session.
- Roundtables
Roundtables are designed for small group discussion of specialized topics, with the presenter leading the discussion. This participatory format allows for a highly interactive presentation lasting 60 minutes. Typically, several Roundtable discussions are scheduled simultaneously in one large room, with minimal audiovisual use.
- Poster Sessions
Poster Sessions are designed to showcase a program, process, activity or the like in an informal setting. We provide a small table to support a display board, a laptop, your handouts and so on. Posters may be set up for much of the morning or afternoon, allowing attendees to browse them. The presenter needs to be stationed at the poster to answer questions throughout the scheduled time period.
- Workshops
As half- or full-day sessions, workshops are intended to provide intense professional development opportunities that result in participants' acquiring new skills. Workshops are targeted at specific interest groups and must generate enough interest among attendees if they are to be offered. As noted above, workshops for the Dallas convention take place on Tuesday and Saturday.
