Session types

Oral Presentations - 15 minutes in length and will be followed by 5 minutes of Q&A with delegates. This session type should be selected if your proposed session is a critical essay or report on a project within your institution and should offer guidance on how others can replicate similar projects within their own institutions. Your session should include a PPT presentation or visual stimulus to accompany your talk.

“On the Cutting Edge” - should be 10 minutes in length and will be followed by 10 minutes of Q&A. This is an opportunity to talk about ‘works in progress’ where you may not have taken any action or it is too soon to evaluate the impact of your work, but you plan, or are, making a change using AI and want feedback and dialogue with colleagues. As a minimum, the lead presenter will need to attend the symposium in person to participate in the Q&A session. The use of PPT slides for this session type is optional.

Workshop sessions - should be 60 minutes in length. We want to provide an opportunity for colleagues to learn from each other and therefore we wish to have a space for learning and development in this rapidly expanding area. We welcome contributions that will help colleagues understand how to embed, use and critique AI practice.
