We encourage you to design creative, interactive, and informative sessions. We seek solution-focused content encouraging participants to problem-solve and find practical applications to EDI issues.  Consider these interactive session ideas as you prepare to submit your presentation, session/forum, or workshop for the 2024 EDI Conference:

1. Host a “Talk Show”

2. Facilitate a Debate

3. Audience-Infused Panel Discussions with Polling Tools

 

There are three types of abstracts you can submit, including a session, forum, and workshops.

 

SESSION

A 90-minute session concept delivered lecture-style from the podium.

 

FORUM

A 90-minute concept designed for panel interaction and attendee engagement.

 

WORKSHOP

Abstract Submission Tips and Tricks

 

  • Do not wait until the last day to submit an abstract. There is usually very high traffic on the website and you want to avoid the risk of any technical difficulties.

  • Do not use the “back” button during the submission process.

  • Be certain to click “Submit” at the end of the process for a confirmation of receipt. If you do not get confirmation of receipt, DIA did not receive your abstract.

  • Please review our submission site process document before logging in.
