Speakers will be chosen based on their lecture proposals: consisting of the title, description, and teaching objectives. Special consideration will be given to the uniqueness of topic and topics not generally covered in the main conference. The accepted speakers will then be sent specific criteria on which they will be judged.
Pre-recorded lectures will be shown during the conference. Presenters will be evaluated based on content and delivery. The winning presenter will earn a prize!
