Montreal Ecocity World Summit is pleased to invite the submission of the following proposals:
INDIVIDUAL PRESENTATIONS
Individual Research and Best Practice Proposals (20 minutes)
Academics and other professionals are invited to propose individual presentation of 20 minutes relating to one or more of the conference themes. Sessions will be created by combining proposals treating similar themes. Time will be made available at the end of each session for interaction with participants.
General – Fast, Fun and Passionate (7 minutes)
Propose a short 7-minute, 21-slide presentation on one or more of the conference themes. Slides are automatically timed and presentations can only last 7 minutes. This format requires a well-conceived presentation, good visuals and a great deal of rehearsal.
Posters
Poster presentations provide an opportunity to introduce innovative approaches related to the conference themes. Poster sessions are available to all delegates, with a distinct category for students.
WORKSHOPS AND SPECIAL SESSIONS
Session – Complete Proposal (90 minutes)
Propose a 90 minute session that treats one or more of the conference themes.
Facilitated Discussion (90 minutes)
Propose a facilitated discussion that touches on one or more of the conference themes. The purpose of these sessions is to allow for maximum delegate participation in exploring and developing knowledge amongst people who share ideas, challenges and opportunities. The proponent is required to frame the discussion with a succinct introduction, facilitate the discussion to ensure broad participation, and summarize the key points at the close of the session.
Training Workshop (1/2 or full day, first day of conference)
Full or half-day workshops provide opportunities for skills development in one or more of the conference themes. Workshops typically include presentations, practical exercises, and case study reviews. They are highly interactive and provide resources and other tools for participants to use after the conference.
Symposium or Colloque (1/2 or full day)
We invite academics or professionals who are interested in organizing a symposium or colloque within the framework of the Ecocity World Summit to contact the conference secretariat directly to indicate their interest. Proposals will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
ARTS AND CULTURE
We are very interested in receiving artistic proposals (installations, performances, exhibits, ephemeral art, etc.). Please e-mail us at program@ecocity2011.com to signify your interest.
