Panel presentation sessions will typically be 30 - 60 minutes in length. A panel proposal must include an abstract summarizing the overall theme of the panel. Submissions showcasing research papers should also include individual abstracts for each presentation included in the panel. Panel presentations that seek to bring together experts for interactive discussion should describe questions that will be addressed by the panel, and underlying issues to be discussed.
