Pre-Conference Workshops

Submission Guidelines

Pre-conference workshops will be hosted at the Hilton Toronto on Sunday, April 27th, and will be programmed from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Workshops can be programmed for a half day or full day.

Workshops provide an opportunity for participants to learn about new techniques or technologies or gain in-depth knowledge on a particular topic. Pre-conference workshops are designed for a relatively small number of participants, and should involve interactive features, such as demonstrations, discussions, or hands-on activities such as data analysis.

Workshops that integrate facilitators and/or speakers from multiple countries and that integrate aspects related to assessing both diet and activity are encouraged.

Please submit your proposal for a pre-conference workshop by 11:59 p.m. PDT (UTC -7) on May 30, 2024.

Please prepare the following information before submitting your proposal:

• • Workshop description (up to 5000 characters, including spaces):
  • Topic and relevance to ICDAM
  • Learning objectives (specify 3-5 S.M.A.R.T* objectives)
  • Format (i.e., outline of planned activities)

Submission Portal

ICDAM submissions are now managed by Conference Manager 2.0, a management application that is also used by other organizations. Due to this shared system, you may have an existing account. Please review the instructions below so as not to create duplicate user accounts. If you have a membership with ISDAM, please use the same credentials to log in to Conference Manager 2.0.

• On the landing page, locate the New User heading and select “create user profile”.
• The email and password used to create your account will be required for ICDAM submissions and registration, as well as for your ISDAM membership.
• Note: When you create an account on Conference Manager 2.0, you will be asked to create a profile, which includes optional information such as social media handles and name for conference badges. You only need to create a profile once and the information that you provide will be applied to your ICDAM submissions and registration and your ISDAM membership. You can edit your profile at any time from the account dashboard.
• Once you have created your account, or logged in, you will be taken to your account dashboard.
