Les directives techniques sont disponibles uniquement en anglais. Si vous avez des questions, veuillez contacter conference@cpha.ca.

60-minute interactive sessions

Following an introduction by the session moderator, speakers can present (live or pre-recorded presentations are played) for a maximum of 40 minutes. During the remaining 20 minutes, speakers take part in a live discussion and moderated Q&A.  

Questions are submitted via a chat function and the moderator will select and read participant questions and prompt the appropriate panelist to answer. Moderators will need to connect to two platforms: a Zoom link to present and the conference virtual platform to view participant questions.

Sessions are recorded and available online for one year after the conference. When creating presentation material, speakers must ensure content is free from sensitive or confidential information. 

Session agenda
The session will be run by an audio visual technician. Speakers will complete a session agenda that outlines the order of the presentations and include live polling questions and answers (if this feature will be used). The final agenda will be provided to the AV technician to ensure your session is executed according to your planned outline. 

Final session agendas must be submitted by 17:00 EDT Wednesday 14 June.
