Tracks
Talk Story (60 minutes)
Talk Story includes 15 minutes of presentation, followed by 45 minutes of discussion, feedback, and interaction. Presenters should bring key questions to pose to others, in order to learn from and with those attending. Talk Stories are an ideal format for networking and in-depth discussion on a particular topic. The abstract body should be a minimum of 300 characters (approx. 50 words) and cannot contain more than 2,000 characters (approx. 300 words). Blank spaces and punctuation are included. Authors’ affiliation and titles are not included.
Symposium (45 minutes)
Symposium includes 30 minutes of presentation followed by 15 minutes of discussion on a specific topic and the way(s) in which it contributes to the body of knowledge in the field of social work with a focus on the Pacific. The abstract body should be a minimum of 300 characters (approx. 50 words) and cannot contain more than 2,000 characters (approx. 300 words). Blank spaces and punctuation are included. Authors’ affiliation and titles are not included.
Hoʻā (Ignite) Style
This short presentation includes 20 PowerPoint slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds for a total presentation time of just 5 minutes. Hoʻā slides tend to incorporate excellence in slide design in support of a very clearly articulated message. Presentations are challenging, exciting, and dare we say it – they can be quite fun to create, give, and to attend.
