- D2L encourages presenters from different organizations to present together.
- Lead presenters must invite their co-presenters individually so they can view and modify the proposal.
- Please note that you may have only three co-presenters (for a total of four presenters).

Presentation Formats
Events and presentation format options vary, but below are the most common presentation format options presenters can expect at D2L events:
Standard Presentation
This format allows you to present your topic in a traditional in-person setting or webinar.
Panel Presentation
This format features a group of presenters with a moderator in a traditional in-person setting or webinar. You will organize the panelists and facilitate the discussion.
Discussion
Facilitators/presenters prepare questions and drive discussions that lead to in-depth debates and encourage audience members to give and receive feedback or share similar interests in a forum setting, for example, brainstorming sessions, roundtable conversations.
Five-Minute Flare
This presentation style comprises 15 slides, each of which is displayed for 20 seconds before automatically moving on to the next slide (similar to the PechaKucha format). Interesting visuals and fluid speaking are key to a successful Flare presentation.
Lightning Talk
This presentation is longer than a five-minute flare and shorter than a standard presentation. It is an opportunity to share high-level information about a topic.
Fusion Hangout
This 10-to-15-minute interactive activity showcases your organization in a special or unexpected way. In Fusion Hangouts, anything goes—stretching, meditation, drum demonstrations, team building, improv, culinary demonstrations, wellness tips, and so on.
