Video Streaming Sessions
Certain sessions may be selected to be video streamed and recorded for future delivery on the League for Innovation’s iStream website. If a session is selected, all session presenters will be notified and asked for their permission to video stream and record their session. No session will be video streamed and recorded without written permission from all presenters involved in that session.
Session Formats
Session formats include Concurrent Sessions, Roundtable Discussions, and Poster Sessions. Each session format is described in detail at Session Format Descriptions.
Presentations Posted on the Web
Presentations will be posted on the League for Innovation’s website after the conference for presenters who provide their files. This is entirely optional. Presenters who want their files posted online should provide them to the Speaker Support Office upon arriving onsite or send them to LaRita Phillips at phillips@league.org after the conference (include session title, presenter name(s), and day/time of the presentation). Files will not be edited or changed and will be posted exactly as they are received.
