General Inform a tion

Nursing Continuing Professional Development

Educational Sessions Overview Sigma is committed to providing robust educational programming at our events. We offer a variety of sessions in different formats to help our attendees get the most out of their experience. Learn more about the types of educational sessions below.

Plenary Sessions Plenary sessions include our keynote speakers. All event attendees are encouraged to attend these captivating presentations, which feature internationally known and respected speakers on timely and relevant topics.

Concurrent Sessions During concurrent sessions, nurses from all over the world present original evidence-based practice and research abstracts. These run simultaneously. Please refer to the app for presentation titles, presenters, and a brief description about the presentation so you can identify the sessions you want to attend.

The types of concurrent sessions include PechaKucha presentations, oral sessions, special sessions, and symposia.

Read more about those types of sessions below.

PechaKucha Presentations PechaKucha is a storytelling format where the presenter shows 20 slides for 20 seconds each. Slides are set up to automatically advance after 20 seconds. In other words, you have 400 seconds to tell a story, with visuals guiding the way. PechaKucha means “chit chat” in Japanese. This creative outlet is used by global innovators to create powerful, visually compelling stories that move audiences in less than 7 minutes.

Educational Sessions Over view

Oral Presentations Oral presentations, sometimes called podium presentations, are the standard concurrent session presentation type. The accepted oral abstracts have gone through the peer-review process and are grouped together with abstracts of similar topics in one session.

Special Sessions A special session is an invited presentation on a singular topic. Many of these are Sigma specific topics, such as updates on Sigma global initiatives or organizations that Sigma collaborates with to advance the nursing profession. Special sessions could also highlight Sigma award honorees.

Symposia A symposium is a group of at least three individual abstract presentations coordinated by a submitting lead author concerning a common topic of interest. Symposia provide an opportunity to present research or evidence-based practices on one topic, often from multiple perspectives, providing a coherent set of information for discussion.

Poster Presentations Two types of posters are available during our poster sessions: peer-reviewed posters and Rising Star student posters.

Please take some time to review the posters and attend the meet the author poster sessions to converse with the authors about their work.
