Presentations Formats

IPMI requests presentations that appeal to all types of adult learners. To provide the best educational experience, IPMI provides multiple formats for education sessions:

Strategic Leadership

Presentations led by one or two leaders targeting industry veterans/C-Suite leaders in analysis, high level risk-taking, autonomy, and leading change in an organization. Educate on shaping organizational strategy and aiding in the growth or progress of industry best practices.

Panel Presentation

Share topics of interest, lessons learned, foresight, or evidence of impact related to a central theme, presented from varying perspectives.Presenters should actively engage the audience to stimulate and provoke discussion, and include diverse perspectives, panelists, and feature equity and inclusion.

Case Study

Stories of real-world, practical, proven solutions to challenges implemented by one or more institutions. Case studies provide ideas and approaches that may be adapted to another organization or attendee.

INTERACTIVE/INNOVATIVE PRESENTATION

Innovative strategies and methods that will be shared and demonstrated in interactive, outcome focused ways to provoke discussion and audience engagement. May include polling, small group breakouts, or other interctive activities.

Please note: Panel presentations include a maximum of one moderator and three panelists.

Varied perspectives are strongly favored, as both will ensure a comprehensive and compelling Conference education program.

Speaker Requirements

As IPMI strives to conduct a fair selection process that limits biases, our evaluation process is a blind review, ensuring that education sessions are selected based on the quality of the submissions. All submissions will be reviewed without the organizations’ or presenters’ names (or identifying information) attached to them. Submissions that fail to do this will be evaluated accordingly and may be disqualified. Incomplete and/or sales-oriented submissions will not be considered, and no extensions will be provided.

Each accepted presenter will be contacted independently, and will be required to login, confirm participation, and sign the Speaker Agreement. As part of the agreement, every presenter is required to accept IPMI’s Non-Discrimination, No Self-Promotion, and Copyright policies.
