Interactive Flash Presentation Session
New to our 2025 conference is the Interactive Flash Presentation format!
​
Melding the personalized quality of a poster session with the digital quality of a presentation session, we invite presenters to speak about their work through quick 5-minute presentations in a one-on-one setting. You can engage in conversation with your TYCA Northeast colleagues about your work and build meaningful connections. Also, if you experience stress while presenting alone in front of a room, this might be a preferable format for you.
​
The format:
- Each presenter will have a table in the main salon to set up their laptop with their presentation materials.
- Presenters will remain with their laptops and over the course of 45 minutes, attendees of the conference will move from presentation to presentation interacting with the presenters about their work.
​
Topics that are ideal for this format:
- Classroom Activities
- Ongoing Research
- Demonstration of digital tools in English education
