Joint Commission Resources encourages faculty at live conferences to engage the audience and integrate them as part of faculty presentations. We find this is a value added component to education and provides the audience with an experiential part of learning. Engaging the audience could include using workgroups, quizzes, voting systems, interactive communication, problem-solving, etc. Should your abstract be accepted and you be selected for a live presentation, please be sure to tell us how you could integrate the audience into your presentation within your application.
