Possible topics include but are not limited to music literature, teaching techniques, the psychology of teaching, performance stress, improvisation, the business side of the music profession, or a historical account of performance style.
The topic proposal should be a detailed, written document describing the presentation exactly as it is to be done. Maximum 250 words. Be sure to include any equipment necessary for the presentation. Suggested time is 25 minutes with an additional 5 minutes for questions and discussion.
Please submit your Proposal by July 1 to Janice Nimetz, jmnimetz15@gmail.com. The Lecture Forum Committee will review proposals and notify proposers by the end of July.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS – Lightning Talks and Posters Display
Submission Deadline: Monday, August 1, 2022 (11:59 EDT)

SESSION DESCRIPTION and SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Lightning Talks
As the name suggests, these are fast! Lightning Talks are 5-minute oral presentations on a music related topic of your choice. Visual elements such as Powerpoint slides are encouraged. The topics should be practical in nature and applicable to a wide audience.
The 5 minute limit for Lightning Talks is strictly enforced! Make sure your proposed talk will fit the time limit. The most effective lightning talks are usually specific and focused on a single topic/idea, rather than trying to provide summaries of many ideas.

Sample Lightning Talks from the 2021 NYSMTA Virtual Symposium
Posters Display Session
Poster sessions are visual representations on a variety of topics, usually falling into two main categories: pedagogy/best practices and research studies. Topics may include: pedagogy, music history, music theory, Jazz/improvisation, world/folk/popular music, wellness, and music entrepreneurship
Posters should be large enough to be seen from a distance. Consider the use of visual aids like photos, charts, or music scores to enhance the presentation.
