<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Each session will feature one or more relatively short presentations, but at least half of each session should be devoted to discussion. Attendees and presenters should be prepared to share their own experiences,
successes, failures, and lessons learned. These informal, small group sessions will give presenters and attendees alike a unique opportunity to meet, experience, and cooperate with other practitioners, educators, and researchers seeking to address a wide array
of digital challenges.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">A BPE session may feature a single presenter, two or three presenters addressing a common topic, or many presenters delivering lightning talks. Proposals for roundtable, facilitated discussions, or mini-workshops
are also welcome. Sessions can range in length depending on amount content but most will be 60 minutes.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
