Can be individual, panel (maximum of 5 people), or how-to formats. Poster PresentationDisplaying a physical poster no larger than 8 feet wide x 4 feet tall (2.4 meters x 1.2 meters) in size. Posters will be set up on June 19 in the afternoon and removed on the afternoon of June 21. If your poster is selected for presentation, at least one representative from the author team is required to participate in the Poster Reception on Thursday evening by staffing the posters in order to answer questions and discuss the presentation with attendees. Rising Star Poster PresentationsINACSL is committed to inclusive diversity in its leadership, membership, opportunities, and programming. The Rising Star in Simulation search is designed by the IncluDE committee and is an exclusive opportunity for underrepresented individuals and/or novice simulationists to share their work and create a foundation for their future scholarly activities in the field of simulation. Eligible applicants will have less than two years experience in simulation and never have presented at a national simulation conference. Applicants that are selected for the Rising Star award will be paired with a mentor to assist with the development of their poster presentation. Lightning SessionsThese unique, fast-paced, informal sessions give participants an opportunity to deliver a 10-minute concise (no more, no less) yet impactful presentation. In this session format, each participant will have 10 minutes to share their insights, research, or ideas in an informal and engaging manner. The condensed timeframe challenges presenters to compress their content to its essence, delivering a concentrated burst of knowledge to the audience. Presentations will be grouped into three to form a 45-minute session. Following the trio presentations, a moderated discussion will give attendees the chance to ask thought-provoking questions and delve deeper into the presented topics. This presentation type is great for first-time presenters! Lightning Session categories for presentation include:
Hands On Workshop90-minute, concurrent time slots held during the main conference. Workshops are interactive sessions that involve the audience in some form of interactive participatory activity. Authors are encouraged to work together to create a mini-symposium with multiple speakers presenting on the same topic for an equal amount of time (example: three experts on a topic submit together and each present for 30 minutes). Pre-conference Hands On WorkshopPresenting on June 19 for either four (4)* hours or eight (8) hours the day before the conference begins. Authors are encouraged to work together to create a mini-symposium with multiple speakers presenting on the same topic for an equal amount of time (example: three experts on a topic submit together and each present for two hours).

Clinical PracticeThis category includes simulation centers, hospital-based programs, stand-alone programs. Administrative OperationsThe focus of these abstract submissions is on the operational aspects of launching, managing, and/or evaluating simulation programs. In addition, this could include the day to day operations such as moulage, scheduling, turn-over, and technical aspects of simulation. ResearchResearch could be from education, industry, and/or operations. Submissions in this category must be the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. Systematic reviews are applicable. If human subjects are involved, institutional review board or ethics committee approval is required. Lead AuthorThe author or individual submitting abstract documentation is:
