<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The <strong>Great Ideas Showcase</strong> will provide an opportunity to share innovative ideas, new workflows, and new applications of technology in an interactive and informal setting. Great Ideas can be demonstrated in a variety of ways – posters, laptops, tablets, e-readers, etc. Participants will be given a table or poster board (4’ x 6’) to showcase their idea to attendees, depending on their need.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The <strong>Snapshot Sessions</strong> will consist of up to eight 5-minute presentations with a focus on an idea, project, workflow, etc. If you’ve always wanted to speak at NASIG, but haven’t felt like you had enough to say for a full session, this is a great opportunity for you.</p>
