Session Formats

From observing conversations that count to joining a debate or diving into problem-solving mode, we have numerous learning styles covered.  Mix and match our learning formats to create an educational experience that works for you! 

Plenary Sessions 
Thought-provoking, global challenges deconstructed by acclaimed panelists representing multiple stakeholders focused on healthcare policy, the application of HEOR in healthcare decision making, or methodology. 

Spotlight Sessions 
Spotlight sessions highlight the incredible efforts that are being made in HEOR and promote areas of innovation on timely topics. 

Breakout Sessions: Issue Panels & Workshops
Traditional sessions dedicated to the “how to”, “so what”, “what’s new”, and specific advances needed to keep up on your day-to-day.  Issue Panels introduce debates with multistakeholder perspectives on new and controversial issues in HEOR while workshops discuss the new and innovative applications in the conduct and use of HEOR or the latest on real world data, clinical, economic, or patient -reported outcomes, patient preferences and healthcare policy. 

Podium Sessions 
Top research abstracts, selected by our Research Review Committee, that have been invited to give oral presentations of their latest work.  Each podium session is comprised of individual research abstracts that have been grouped together by an overarching theme. Podium sessions will be released for on-demand viewing as of 22 November and will remain available for viewing until 2 January 2022.
