Topics

We welcome webinar topics at all levels and on any topic of interest to the academic public health and population health community.

Format

 Most of our webinars have a running time of 45-60 minutes and involve one to two speakers. On occasion, we also host webinars that are 80 minutes long and feature 3-5 presenters representing perspectives of different institutions and/or backgrounds, and cover complementary aspects of a given topic. We are accepting proposals for both types of format/duration.

  • 45-60-minute webinar: Your estimated presentation time is around 30-40 minutes with the remaining time spent on introductions and Q&A. Please submit a proposal for a topic you can adequately cover in this amount of time.
  • 80 minute webinar with two or more additional speakers: The estimated total presentation time is around 60 minutes with the remaining time spent on introductions and Q&A. Please submit a proposal for a topic that all presenters can adequately and comfortably cover in this amount of time, and indicate all presenters’ names in the proposal, if applicable.
