- Poster sessions supporting extended, interactive discussion
- Workshops focused on hands-on professional learning and skill development
- Community conversations designed for dialogue, reflection, and shared problem-solving
- Birds-of-a-feather sessions to network around and/or discuss a topic of shared interest

Together, these elements support both formal presentations and informal learning.
Use the Program Effectively
Attendees approach the BCCE program in different ways. You might:
- Follow a particular Conference Context or topic across multiple sessions
- Prioritize a session format, such as workshops or posters sessions
- Balance scheduled sessions with informal conversations and networking
- Sample sessions across Contexts to gain new perspectives
There is no single “right” way to experience the program. The structure is intentionally flexible to support different goals and levels of engagement.
Program Organization
The BCCE 2026 program is organized along several complementary dimensions:
- By format: different session types support different kinds of engagement
- By Conference Context: sessions align with shared conference themes and contexts
- By timing: each day balances structured sessions with opportunities for informal connection
- By mode of participation: in-person and remote sessions are intentionally integrated
These dimensions are designed to help attendees find sessions that align with their interests while also encouraging exploration beyond familiar areas.
