If you are using slides during your session, these can be brought with you on the day. We advise having an emailed copy that you can access in case there are any issues with a USB memory stick.
There are three types of presentation that are accepted for IEEC2024. Please ensure that your session is planned accordingly.
Option 1 – Interactive session
These are interactive, practice-based session within one of our six conference tracks (see below). This format is ideal for interactive and ‘co creative’ exchange, generation, and exploration of new insights. The content of your session can be underpinned by research or practice.
Interactive sessions specifically provide “take-away” knowledge, experience, and practice for delegates.
The interactive nature of sessions is of paramount importance. Sessions should include a maximum of 20 minutes presentation, blended with audience engagement and participation to create multi-directional exchanges and meaningful learning. The total amount of time allocated to each session is 40-45 minutes.
Track Chairs will assist facilitators to achieve an appropriate balance of presentation and interaction.
Option 2 – Seminar
Seminar sessions can be underpinned by research or practice.
Seminars provide an opportunity to share with delegates the session leader’s learning from practice or research. Delivery style will be more traditional than for interactive sessions providing an opportunity to share experience, ideas and practice. The entire seminar will be 40-45 minutes and session leaders should aim to present for 25-30 minutes, allowing 15 minutes for Q&A and discussion.
Sessions should also provide “take-away” knowledge, experience, and practice for delegates.
Track Chairs will assist session leaders to achieve an appropriate balance of presentation and Q&A / discussion.
Option 3 – PechaKucha 20×20 presentation
PechaKucha 20×20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds (just under 7 minutes in total). The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. Slides should contain images only, no text. http://www.pechakucha.org/faq
The 20×20 presentations will be made in quick succession. This is an opportunity to share concisely your experiences or good practice with delegates in a shorter format than the interactive sessions and seminars.
