Presentation Formats

NETWC includes a variety of formats for presentations to promote lively discussions and learning opportunities. In addition to the traditional podium and poster presentations, facilitated panels or interactive workshops organized around a specific topic related to the conference theme or an emerging issue in transportation and ecology are also welcome.  Below are the formats that will be accepted:

• Podium Presentation - lecture style format of technical papers. Presentation time is 20 minutes: 15 minutes speaking plus 5 minutes of questions and answers. Presenters use PowerPoint slides and other audiovisual media to support their remarks. 
  
• Panel Session (3 or more presenters) – podium lecture(s), panel discussion, or breakout groups with facilitated discussion. Presentation/discussion time will be 100 minutes total. 
  
• Workshop - format involves group interaction and hands-on demonstrations. Workshop length may be either a single block of 100 minutes or double block of 200 minutes; preferred length should be noted in the proposal. 
• Lightning Talk - format is a quick 5 minute “lightning talk” presentation. This format focuses on the results of work and not the methodology.  All attendee questions will be asked at the end of the session after all talks have been presented.  
• Poster Session – format is a visual representation of your recent research or ongoing projects.  A dedicated Poster Session will be held during the main conference, when poster presenters will be required to remain with their poster to encourage interaction and discussion with the conference attendees. Poster presenters should also consider doing a Lightning Talk on their topic.

IMPORTANT PROGRAM NOTE:  During the selection process, the Program Committee may invite a proposal author to present in a different format than what was initially requested.
