We anticipate having a variety of session formats, including lightning
talks (5 minutes), individual presentations, panel discussions, and longer
workshops, training, or troubleshooting sessions. Sessions will be 25 or 50
minutes, which includes time for questions. The planning committee is open
to additional suggestions for session formats – in your proposal, please
indicate what kind of format you think will best fit your topic and
presenters. This will be a hybrid conference; all sessions will be
streamed and/or recorded.
