New Presentation Platforms for 2023

Fireside Chats

Fireside Chats consist of an informal yet structured interview between a moderator and a guest. They are a unique opportunity to uncover the speaker's expertise, personal stories and ideas. The Fireside Chat sessions are intended to be informative yet conversational with an allocated time of 30 or 60 minutes.

World Cafés

World Cafes are structured conversational processes for sharing knowledge in which groups of people discuss a topic at several small tables like those in a café, and they will have pre-defined questions, but outcomes or solutions are not decided beforehand. World Cafés will consist of three to five small tables for people to move between, with a facilitator for each table. The allocated time is 60 to 90 minutes.

IHER Research Project

Members of the IHER steering committee have an IRB approved project that is seeking volunteers to respond to a two-minute survey and/or participate in short 5- to 15-minute interviews. The survey link can be clicked below. If interested in participating in the brief interviews, please contact the team at: IHERConference@mcw.edu.
