These interactive sessions provide a forum for collaborative interaction and discussion of ideas through individual workshops, panel discussions, roundtables, creative performance, or other forms of interactive engagement. These sessions may be designed to critically examine topics, explore issues and develop strategies related to the conference theme.

These sessions provide a focused opportunity for delegates to interactively present and facilitate dialogue and discussion on a topic or issue related to the conference theme. For example, presenters could share highlights of research findings, showcase a best practice or profile an initiative or partnership. All presentations will include opportunities for discussion and dialogue.

A digital poster is an electronic presentation of a research or topic. Digital posters can be static, like a conventional academic poster, or dynamic like a PowerPoint. Digital poster presentations provide an opportunity to visually communicate and share practices, research findings or early-stage research projects relevant to the conference theme. Sessions will begin with a 5-minute video, followed by open discussion and questions from delegates.

Ignite presenters will have five minutes to present, in succession, followed by a moderated group Q&A.
