30-Minute Topical Presentation
A session involving a 20 minute speaker presentation, followed by discussion or a question and answer period. Topical Presentations are an opportunity for a brief presentation of recent findings and information combined with informal discussion between the presenters and the audience. PowerPoint and overhead presentations are welcomed but each presentation must adhere to the given timeframe so as to be considerate of your fellow presenters.
60-Minute Breakout Presentation

90-Minute Seminar/Colloquium
A session involving at least four registered participants including a moderator/facilitator. At least 15 minutes should be left for audience participation. Organizers and presenters will need to design the session and submit a proposal through the Call for Papers Web site. This is a new Pacific Rim Conference opportunity to share vital issues important to your organization and communities.
120-Minute Interactive Workshop
