How do I present an ed session at NACA?
We have three different types of ed session opportunities:
- Sponsored Featured Sessions - Featured sessions are 30 minutes long and occur during Ed Block 3. Topic is determined by the presenter. These sessions may be ideal for speakers, lecturers, quick workshops, and tech demos. Submit your proposal by the sponsored ed session deadline. Sponsorship varies by conference and includes a conference registration.
- Traditional Ed Sessions - These sessions follow the traditional 50-minute ed session proposal process/deadline and are reviewed by a volunteer committee. Sessions are 50 minutes and occur in Ed Blocks 1, 2, 4, or 5. There is no cost to present this type of educational session. Learn more about the traditional ed session proposals.
