At this year’s APS DFD Annual Meeting, in addition to award and invited talks, minisymposia, focus sessions, and contributed oral and poster presentations, we will pilot DFD-Interact, an innovative session format, on Sunday morning featuring top researchers in the field.
New session format for 2024
DFD-Interact will foster in-depth interactions with research and broaden audiences for each presentation. Instead of having 40 parallel rooms of contributed talks, we will have about 20 parallel rooms, each with about 20 one-minute flash talks followed by interactive poster or e-poster presentations, with plenty of time for one-on-one and small group discussions.
Fewer rooms mean larger audiences and the DFD-Interact rooms will be thematically curated to highlight the most exciting submissions from the pool of oral contributed abstracts.
Oral abstracts of highest interest to the community will be hand-selected to present in these sessions.
Innovation for the future
DFD-Interact is one of the first pilot approaches to help address the growth of the meeting, and leverages lessons learned from the past plus insightful experiences from the American Geophysics Society.
We are excited for these sessions to enhance your experience and look forward to the community feedback.
