SESSION FORMATS

This year NSH is offering three session format options for presenters. Submit today!

60 Minute Lecture/Workshop: 60 minute slots that are typically 45 minutes of lecture with 15 minutes for Q/A. These are prerecorded, but you will be present to answer questions when it airs live on the virtual convention platform. Allows for polling before and after your content is presented. You can also utilize chat to engage with the audience during the presentation.

Express Talks: 15 minute live talks focusing on a key topic like a troubleshooting tip, your favorite management tools like a spreadsheet template, a training strategy you use for staff, or even demonstrate a technique that you can’t live without, or any other awesome idea you might have.

Learning Labs: “Learning by doing,” Learning Labs presenters will work with NSH to develop interactive and/or hands-on trainings that attendees can do from their own labs or in small breakout rooms. Topics might include image analysis sessions with attendees using their own devices, leadership development topics that involve role playing, or scenario groups, or even “try it at home kits” for staining techniques.
