Speaker & Moderator Toolkit
Information for Workshop Speakers, Panelists and Instructors
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.
Presentation Information for Workshop speakers..
An uplink website will be available for you to submit your presentation prior to the 2006 AAAAI Annual Meeting. Instructions for finding and logging on to this site will be forwarded to you in the near future. The site will be open for approximately three weeks. After the website closes, your presentation must be carried to the meeting, and brought to the Speaker Resource Room 24 hours prior to your talk.
All electronic files must be submitted using one of the software formats listed below:
PowerPoint XP or earlier version
PDF Reader: Adobe Acrobat 6.0
Video Playback: Windows Media Player 9; Quick-Time 6
Even if you have submitted your presentation in advance, please plan on bringing the latest version of your presentation to the meeting on one of the above listed media as a safety back-up for your talk. (If you have not submitted your presentation prior to the meeting, use these same choices of media to carry your presentation to Miami Beach). Please check in at the speaker resource room on-site even if you do not plan to make changes to your presentation – so that we will know you have arrived, and can give you your speaker packet. We ask that you check-in 24 hours prior to your talk.
If you have further questions, please contact Krista Perkins at (414) 272-6071 or kperkins@aaaai.org
