Annual Meeting

Educational Forums

Forums are concurrently running sessions that provide in-depth education on specific topics. These sessions are 1.5, 2 or 4 hours in length. These may have target audiences or be multi-disciplinary in focus.

Symposia

Interactive sessions moderated by experts in the field. These sessions are an hour and fifteen minutes and don’t require a formal presentation. Moderators are expected to prepare discussion topics and questions and participants are asked to come prepared to participate with their own practice successes, failures and questions. A flip chart is provided to capture key points.

These should be completed by the SIG Chair or a designated representative of the SIG, please only submit on per SIG. If you are requesting a SIG stipend, there is a tab in the proposal form to submit this request. All SIG Stipend requests will be considered by the Membership Advisory Committee. Notification will be provided in mid-July.
