We are looking for proposals for the following session types:
1) Lively Lunch Discussions: Thurs or Fri, 75 minutes, focused on discussion and audience participation;
2) Concurrent Sessions: Thurs or Fri, 45 minutes, standard presentation with 5-10 min for Q&A;
3) Innovation Sessions: Sat, 30 min, focus on new technology, innovative thinking, etc.
4) Poster Sessions: New for 2011! Thurs or Fri, 30 minutes
5) Pecha Kucha Sessions: New for 2011! Thurs or Fri, 6 minute 40 second PowerPoint presentation (20 slides, 20 seconds each), and another 9 minutes for discussion.
Pecha Kucha (Japanese: ペチャクチャ, IPA: [pet͡ɕa ku͍̥t͡ɕa][1], chit-chat) is a presentation methodology in which 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each, usually seen in a multiple-speaker event for a total of 6 hours and 40 seconds. Pecha Kuchas originated in 2003 in Tokyo. This year the Charleston Conference would like to “try out” this new presentation system. We are proposing that presenters do a 6 minute and 40 second Pecha Kucha and allow another 9 minutes for discussion. If you like the idea, please make a proposal for the 2011 Charleston Conference. For more information on Pecha Kucha presentations, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pecha_Kucha.
