- Single presenter: One presenter covering the entirety of the session’s content
- Multi-presenter: One to three presenters covering the session. For multi-presenter sessions, one presenter must provide all information for all presenters at the time of submission.
- Panel Discussions: One to three panelists will participate in a discussion facilitated by a dedicated moderator. For panel discussions, you must provide all information for all panelists and must identify a moderator (moderator can be one of the panelists but does not have to be). The moderator will be responsible for providing/uploading session materials and will serve as the session’s point of contact.

Session descriptions will also be used in such materials but may be edited by the Summit Planning Committee for length or in order to align to the guidance of our funders.
