Timing

Sessions are 90 minutes in length.

• Novelty sessions should involve at least 3 participants. 
• If your session involves more than 3 people, please note this in the "anything else the committee should know" box provided on the form to inform the committee of additional information. 
• If selected, the committee will be in touch for the other panelists' details.

In the boxes below, the session leader should outline the format that they propose and explain why it does not match well with other presentation submission options. Keep in mind that even options such as hosting a film viewing must fit within the existing time and space parameters. Novelty sessions must accommodate meaningful discussion or engagement. Overall, sessions should engage the audience directly.
