  • Faculty Scholar Sessions—75-minute sessions that are intended as an interactive workshop at Showcase along with opportunities to attend a future workshop or consult with a Faculty Scholar. View the Faculty Scholar Guidelines.
  • Professional Poster Sessions—poster sessions are intended to highlight best practices and innovative ideas. Posters should be an eye-catching visual representation of the topic which will stimulate open dialogue with other faculty.

Showcase Conference Proceedings will be published and accepted proposals will receive editorial support to develop an academic white paper for these proceedings and other publications.

Proposals for Expert and Scholar Sessions should be submitted by Friday, February 13. Proposals for Poster Sessions by Wednesday, April 1.
