What are all these new session types?

  • Lightning talk: This 15-minute session is a presentation without slides about a story (a “How I Did It”), an insight, a must-have reporting tool, data reporting trick or collaboration idea. These mini “TED talks” are 10 minutes followed by a 5-minute Q&A and are scheduled in blocks of three.
  • Fishbowl: This 45-minute “round table” discussion is led by a moderator alongside one or two experts who set the table for a discussion focused on a single idea or question (“Is AI really going to change the way we do journalism?”)
  • Booktalk: This is a 45-minute author talk followed by a 15-minute moderated Q&A and a book-signing with an opportunity to purchase the book.
  • The 1:1 featured speaker (non-plenary): This session type features a single speaker with a broader range of expertise. The format is a 30-minute talk followed by a 30-minute moderated Q&A.
  • Traditional panel: This 75-minute session features a moderator and three or four panelists. Panelists’ presentations are followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.
  • Workshop: This 90-minute hands-on training opportunity is led by an experienced journalist and designed to build skill in a particular subject. Bring your laptop.
