Formats

Ignite-style Talks

Ignite-style talk proposals are for a timely, provocative, and creative five-minute talk addressing a hot topic in informatics related to the symposium theme. Ignite-style talks will contain exactly 20 slides, 15 seconds each, that will be automatically advanced. After your presentation, a moderator will facilitate brief dialogue with the audience and move to the next presentation. Ignite-style Talks will be pre-loaded on a laptop and you will be required to submit a final version of your presentation slides in advance using the ACMI slide template.

Panel

Panels provide an opportunity for an extended exploration of a topic by the panelists. A panel proposal should describe the topic to be explored and an argument as to why this topic is timely, urgent, needed, or attention-grabbing. Further, the proposal should describe why the participating panelists are germane to this topic.

Moderated Discussion

This format provides an opportunity for an extended exploration of a specific topic by Fellows. Please describe the topic to be explored and an argument as to why this topic is timely, urgent, or needed.

Other Formats

You are welcome to submit an idea for another format. We invite your proposal for an individual presentation or session.
