Expectations for Session Content and Audience Engagement
IAEE requires that every session includes facilitation of content delivery and group discussions, along with engagement elements such as small group discussions and exercises. Presentations cannot be solely “talking heads” or one-way lectures. Instead, speakers must design their sessions to include meaningful opportunities for interaction amongst attendees as well as interaction between presenter(s)/panelists and attendees.
This means:
- Presenters should convey key content clearly but also foster discussions among attendees.
- Proposals must specify how you will incorporate interactive activities or discussions during your session.
- Your submission should outline your plan for facilitating shared discussions, group activities, or other engagement methods that encourage community building.
- IAEE staff will review and discuss your proposed engagement strategies during a pre-event speaker call if your session is selected. Speakers must have planned activities that demonstrate speaker’s ability to incorporate such activities and elements of content delivery.
