 Forum Sessions |
|
The Forum format is relatively new to the Council’s conference. It is a facilitated 2-hour session in which four presenters each have 15 minutes to make a presentation, followed by a question-and-answer period. Most forum speakers are selected from the competitive abstract process; their abstracts presented something new and innovative, or a latest finding that should be disseminated at the conference, but that did not fit into any of the established panel discussions. While the presenters are grouped based on similar key health issues, their presentations do not necessarily “go together” in the traditional sense, and the question-and-answer period follows each presenter as opposed to at the end of all the presentations.
