Your workshop will take place in one room.
Your Session Room: The room set for workshop presentations is the same in every room, including:
- A mic’d podium for presenters, on a riser/stage positioned at the front-middle of the room.
- A 6' table(s) on stage, near to the podium, to allow seating for all the workshop presenters in your section.
- An IDEA laptop on the podium, with presenter's PPT presentation preloaded.
- A large screen (where slides will be projected) set up in the corner of the room.
- A microphone for audience questions, stationed in the middle of the room,
Session Length: Presentations during a workshop can vary, some can be straight podium presentations, some with a series of presenters, or a mix of both. IDEA will work with you individually to discuss expectations.
Moderator: Each track within your workshop will have a moderator who will do a quick intro of the session and speakers. To save time, your full bio will not be read as attendees can read it in the app. The moderator will also field questions from the audience at the conclusion of your presentation, during the Q&A period.
In addition, there are workshop chairs who will also be involved in the workshop throughout the day.
Audio Visual/Staff Assistance: An AV tech and an IDEA staff member will also be on hand to assist/troubleshoot issues when needed.
Session Tracks: IDEA divides the program into session tracks, which are blocks of time in which multiple presentations on the same topic are given over that period of time. IDEA asks that the speaker(s) for each presentation within a session track be present in the room at the beginning of their time block, ready to go on stage when it is time for their presentation to begin.
Recordings: IDEA will professionally record your session for inclusion on the IDEA Learning Center post-conference. Anyone registered to attend will have access to the recordings.
