Sessions are 1 hour and 30 minutes and should provide in-depth information, practical ideas, and specific strategies for the attendees to use once they return to their workplace. Hands-on examples, opportunities to practice new skills, and active participant involvement are encouraged.
Session proposals should contain the necessary information for the proposal reviewers to judge the relevance, quality and potential community interest in the proposed topic. Proposals should answer the questions: What will attendees take away from the session? What will attendees be able to use in their job/role?
Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of:
● Connection to one or more conference themes listed above
● Timeliness/relevance of topic
● Topic's contribution to women’s professional development
● Adaptability of ideas to a variety of roles
● Diversity of perspectives
● Diversity of presenters
● Quality of content
● Detailed description of session
● Clearly stated purpose and learning objectives
Due to budgetary considerations, it is not possible to offer an honorarium to workshop presenters; however registration fees will be waived.
