• ARC TALK: An ARC Talk (Action > Research > Conversation) is an interactive presentation featuring high-level research, a brief case study, and discussion. ARC Talks allow communicators to explore how research expands beyond the findings into practical application.
• RESEARCH SPRINT: A 20-minute, research-based presentation that highlights the high-level key findings from a research study (as well as appropriate lit review/theory, methodology) and its impact on the profession. Research Sprints empower communicators to apply research findings to their work in meaningful ways.
• EXPERT PRESENTATIONS:  A TED-style talk format that focuses on a specific and timely area of the industry. Research should be the basis of the expert presentation and include the “so what” for attendees at the conference.
• PANEL DISCUSSIONS: Panel discussions may feature both practitioners and academics to address the most critically important research and industry-focused topics that matter to the profession. Panel discussions should not include more than three panelists and a moderator.
