Step 3: Session Details

Session Title: Provide the official name of the forum session. Select a title that is evocative of your topic and that will appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience. Please refrain from using technical terms and acronyms within your title. Please limit the title to 10 words.

Abstract/Description: Provide a description of your session in no more than 250 words. Please describe the session purpose, goals, and key takeaways or action items for attendees. Describe significant tools, resources, experiences, and objectives. In other words, tell us what makes your session compelling. In order to be innovative, the advisory committee needs session ideas to be as specific and detailed as possible so please provide complete thoughts and ideas. The session proposer will be responsible for developing this session according to what is described in this abstract.

Session Format: Select the format you wish to recommend for your session. Regardless of the session format chosen, Forum Organizers are looking for sessions that have an interactive component in them.

Breakout Sessions (75 minutes): These are traditional sessions with presentations and/or discussions of a new or common climate and energy topic. The session can be presented in the form of a facilitated discussion, a role-play exercise, a debate between experts, a moderated panel, or might take another interactive format. Please specify your proposed session format in the Active Engagement question. Breakout sessions should consist of no more than three speakers and a moderator. No less than 20-30 minutes of each session should be devoted to Q&A if using a moderated panel format - NO EXCEPTIONS.

Interactive Workshops (120 minutes): These workshops should be led by a facilitator and ideally include no more than 2-3 discussion leaders. Workshop leaders will present in-depth information about a specific tool, technology, strategy or resource. Examples include the use of a tool or strategy, its application to solve a particular challenge, and examples of how it has been successfully used in one or more communities. The workshops can use a combination of case study examples and tabletop or other group exercises to encourage discussion and problem solving among the participants.

Poster Session: Poster presentations will allow attendees to connect directly with experts showcasing new and innovative tools, strategies, and lessons learned. The most successful posters will be informative, feature material that is impactful and incorporate the forum theme of Accelerating Climate Action & Advancing Justice. Posters should be no larger than 30"x40" and no smaller than 20"x30" - the recommended size is 24"x36", proposer will be responsible for printing the poster. The poster session will take place during lunch on Thursday, September 22nd; a representative will be expected to be on the premises to respond to questions and present the poster.

Mobile Workshops (Tours): These mobile sessions will provide hands-on, real-world learning about specific climate and energy issues, and will take the form of a traditional tour (by public transit, bus, bicycle, and/or on foot) coordinated with a workshop format to make connections between the local experience and climate and energy issues. Mobile tours may be held off-site, so submissions should identify all modes of transportation that will be used for each tour, and the total time needed to conduct the tour (including travel time from the hotel). Mobile tours are typically scheduled in 3-4 hour blocks on Wednesday morning.
