Lightning Talks and Abstract-Reviewed Presentations
Lightning Talks
A lightning talk is a very short presentation on a timely topic of interest to the audience. Lightning talks are 2-3 minutes with just 1-2 slides, followed by a group discussion. The main goals of the lightning talk session are to learn what our colleagues are doing, and to generate discussions during the session and over the course of the conference.
For lightning talks, submit an extended abstract (500-750 words in PDF (.pdf) file format).
During the conference, authors of accepted abstracts will present in a lightning talk session.
Abstract-Reviewed Presentations
For abstract-reviewed presentations, submit an extended abstract (500-750 words in PDF (.pdf) file format) and include, as appropriate, a clear description of the objectives and motivation, relevant background, assessment plan and results. It is not required to follow up with a full paper in order to present in a conference session.
During the conference, authors of accepted abstracts will present their work in a conference session.ÌýPresentations will be approximately 15 to 20 minutes long.
