2. PREPARING YOUR WORKSHOP
Content and Language
Speakers are fully responsible for the content of the presentation (order, graphics, etc.). All presentations and questions must be in English, as English is the official language of the congress.
Presentation Formats and Duration
Workshops last 3 hours and take place on a specific day and time listed in the program.
It is recommended that the didactic, lecture-style presentation portion of the presentation uses slides. While slides are not required, if slides are used, there are ways to make both the slides and discussion portions interactive and engage the audience in a virtual way.
Workshops provide instruction in a particular clinical, research, or other technique for debate or discussion among a small audience. Active audience participation utilizing options such as break-out rooms and polling is essential. Workshops could have a maximum of 30 attendees.
EACCME and presentation criteria for Accreditation
We recommend that each speaker dedicate the second slide of their presentation to the fact that any conflict of interest has been resolved. More information for speakers on the terms of EACCME accreditations and a preview slide are listed below.
Programme and Abstract Book
Your workshop will be stated in the final programme book and the abstract will be published in the abstract book. The programme and abstract book will be distributed digitally and in hard copy (hard copy against additional fee).
