Speaker & Moderator Toolkit
Information for Workshop Moderators
What is a Workshop?
Every workshop is required to incorporate an element of interactivity. As a result, there are no “didactic” or lecture style workshops. Each session should fall under one of these categories of interactive formats:
-
Q&A: A moderator and up to three speakers will speak for up to 15 minutes each. Since all workshops are 75 minutes in length, this will allow the moderator to conduct a 30-minute question and answer segment at the end of the session with questions from the audience.
-
Panel Discussion: A moderator and up to three panelists. The panelists do not give presentations, instead, the moderator asks them probing questions in a series of pre-defined topics and allows them to respond in turn. Once each panelist has addressed each question, the moderator will ask a person from the audience to provide commentary as well.
If you are a panelist…
Panelists do NOT need to provide individual handouts. The session moderator will be providing one handout containing session overview and topics.
-
Audience Response: A moderator and up to three speakers, each of whom will offer a presentation constructed solely of clinical case situations. Each case will be presented to the audience, who will respond via audience response keypads, and the results will be shown on the screen. The speaker will then tailor his or her comments depending on those results. Allowing five minutes for each case will mean each speaker can present six cases.
If you are a speaker participating in a session utilizing the Audience Response System…
You will be asked to submit several cases or questions to which the audience will respond via keypads. Instructions for submission will be forthcoming.
-
Hands-On: Sessions in which participants have the opportunity to actively manipulate devices or otherwise practice procedures in a supervised setting.
-
Pro/Con Debate: Two presenters provide opposing views on a controversial topic.
As moderator, you are responsible for…
Working with confirmed speakers to develop specific session content. Once they are all confirmed, you will be notified via e-mail. You should contact the speakers well before the meeting to ensure that their presentations fit the learning objectives. You will also be responsible for reviewing the submitted cases and selecting three to five cases for discussion. You are also responsible for verifying that the session content is free of commercial bias. Your staff liaison can organize a conference call for the session participants if you would like.
Assisting the staff liaison assigned to your session with the collection of necessary materials from your speakers. The timely collection of disclosure statements, handouts, and audio-visual presentations is essential to the overall success of your session and your assistance in this area will greatly increase their likelihood.
On-site management of your session. It will be your job to make introductory announcements, to introduce your speakers, and to ensure that they and your session begins and ends on time.
