Session Formats: This year, we are requesting that proposals fall into one of two session formats:

• Effective Practices sessions: “traditional” NCAN conference sessions of either 60 or 75 minutes in length.
• 7-14-28 presentations: seven minute fast-paced presentations with no more than 14 slides/no smaller than 28 point font. We encourage you to submit a proposal to present in this innovative format that was very popular last year!
