Nexus Summit 2020 is offering 13 different learning tracks during its August and October program. Each learning track is facilitated by track leaders - or agitators of learning - in the thematic area. Track leaders will participate in each session associated with the learning track and will support deep discussion by asking questions and promoting dialogue. To learn more about tracks in advance of the Nexus Summit, read our Reflective Learning Guides associated with each track. Each Reflective Learning Guide has learning objectives and reflective questions to support learning.
Beginning August 3, all professional posters and student posters will be available for viewing. All poster presentations are up to five minutes. We encourage you to view posters through the Nexus Summit meeting and post your comments and questions in the comments section. Poster authors will be checking in frequently throughout the meeting to respond to your questions and comments.
Session attendees are encouraged to watch the pre-recorded Lighting Talk presentations ahead of the Lightning Talk Live Discussions. All Lightning Talks pre-recorded presentations are grouped by track and, when applicable, sub track to make the most of a learning experience. These groups of Lightning Talk presentations will be paired together for the Lighting Talk Live Discussions as well.
During a Lightning Talk Live Discussion, attendees will be expected to have watched the pre-recorded presentations and be ready for discussion. Interaction will be encouraged and the discussion will be facilitated by the thematic track leader. To learn more about each track, read the Reflective Learning Guides that feature learning objectives, reflective questions and additional resources.
