Types of Sessions
- Concurrent Sessions
These 30-, 45-, 60-, or 75-minute sessions are primarily
in presentation format and have comprised the majority of
convention sessions in past years. The focus of these sessions
is on sharing information, such as best practices and research
results. Proposals may be "bundled" with others
of content related to a specific theme to form one concurrent
session.
- Roundtables
Roundtables are designed for interactivity, such as small
group discussion of specialized topics, with the presenter
leading the discussion. Typically, several Roundtable discussions
are scheduled simultaneously in one large room, with power
and Internet access. Participants will be encouraged to visit
more than one roundtable session during the time allotted.
- Poster Sessions
Poster Sessions are designed to showcase a project, program,
process, activity, or the like in an informal setting. A small
table is provided to support a display board, laptop, handouts,
and the like. Posters may be set up for much of a morning
or afternoon, allowing attendees to browse them. While passive
exhibits are acceptable, poster sessions are most effective
when the presenter is present at the poster to answer questions.
- 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 require pre-registration
of at least 10 participants. Workshops will be held in Anaheim
on Tuesday and Saturday.
