Session Formats
Presentation
Traditional conference presentations by one or more authors, followed by Q&A. Presentations must provide an in-depth examination of the topic. Presentation proposals should include a full description of what will be presented. Presentations will be 30 minutes, including Q&A.
Panel
Panels are moderated sessions of experts discussing a topic, designed to give the audience different perspectives. Panels should focus on interactive discussion between the panel members, and between panelists and the audience. Panel proposals should include the topics to be discussed, how the audience will be engaged in the discussion, and expected outcomes for the session. Panel discussions will be 30 or 60 minutes.
Action Lab
Action Labs are action-oriented, hands-on sessions. These sessions could take the form of a workshop, a brainstorming discussion, a demonstration, or a participatory how-to session. Action Labs are intended to train participants, engage participants in thoughtful discussion, provide opportunities for feedback on new ideas or practices, and incubate new projects. Action Lab proposals must describe the intended content, goals of the session, and hands-on components of the session. Action Labs will be 60 minutes.
Flash presentation
Flash presentations are concise presentations of 7 minutes. These presentations should be lively, direct, brief and very focused. Flash presentations can present a single issue and your response to it, raise questions for the field to consider, discuss a challenge faced and its solution, or give a high level overview of a project or collaboration. Flash presentations will be grouped into a 60 minute session, with 10 minutes at the end for presenters and attendees to mix and ask questions.
Submission Information
Proposals should be submitted through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ivec2019. Submissions must include a short abstract (up to 150 words) and an extended narrative (up to 750 words - optional for flash presentations). The extended narrative should clearly articulate what presenters will address and 2-3 learning outcomes. Authors should ensure that enough details are given to be able to assess the novelty, relevance and/or the impact of the proposed session.
The following information will be requested during the submission process:
- Names, titles, institutional or organizational affiliation and short bio for all presenters or panelists
- Conference track (selected from the list above)
