Track Sessions

The conference session presentations will run for 45 minutes with an open format. Presentations can be information sessions, panel discussions, or other speaking events. For information sessions, we recommend 30 minutes for the presentation and 15 minutes reserved for audience questions and answers. We DO NOT require presentations to center on Apereo products or projects. When developing presentations, please consider the issues, opportunities, and innovations that are most central to best practices and/or success in technology-enabled teaching, learning, and research.

...

Please suggest a topic for informal collaboration and discussion. There is no need to prepare a presentation for these sessions. This is simply an opportunity for like-minded folk to meet and share.

Tech Demonstrations

Showcase Night/Reception

One evening during the conference community members will gather to eat, drink and share innovations. Please consider providing a demo of your work and discussing it with community members in an informal setting. The conference will provide a table and access to electricity . We unfortunately cannot provide a screen and projector for each table. If you would like us to assist you in coordinating this with the hotel for a fee, please note that on your submissionand wifi. If you need additional equipment, please indicate so in the "Abstract for Review."

Pre-conference Workshop

Please propose an in-depth, hands-on workshop to be offered the day before the main conference begins. Workshops can either be half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours). They should be highly interactive, allowing attendees to explore, review, practice, or produce outcomes based on the topic and goals of the event. Please indicate whether the workshop will be offered for free or will require a fee. The typical fee is $150 for half-day workshops or $300 for full-day.
