Concurrent session are typically 60-75 minutes in length and can be delivered using the following formats… Instructional: The solo presenter will share his/her insight and expertise on the topic through examples and illustrations. The presentation will explore the subject in depth. Case Studies: Case studies should focus on technological and business challenges and solutions. Our attendees want real-world success stories, and prefer to get them from their colleagues. We encourage those submitting a case study presentation to include your best customer(s) using the latest technology or business model and reaping the benefits. Panel Discussions: A panel discussion will begin with a statement of the issue by the panel moderator followed by each panelist sharing his/her insight on the topic. After each panelist has responded, the moderator will facilitate interactive Q&A with the audience and panelists. |
