Call for Session Suggestions

Suggest a Session for IDWeek 2023 by Nov. 14

Have a great idea for session next year? Know a fabulous speaker? We want to hear your ideas! Submit a Session Suggestion for IDWeek 2023. You’ll be asked to provide potential learning objectives, possible speaker ideas, and presentation topics. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Because there is a finite limit to how many sessions we can have at IDWeek, the selection process is very competitive. The program committee reserves the right to reject, alter and/or combine suggestions where applicable. IDWeek’s goal is to present cutting-edge science, cover a wide variety of infectious disease topics and provide a forum for scientific discovery and exchange. To better foster inclusion and opportunity at IDWeek, we strive for gender, geographic, practice and ethnic diversity in IDWeek sessions and submissions which achieve these goals have a better chance of being selected. Topics and speakers who have recently presented at IDWeek may not be accepted in a subsequent year to allow for other topics and speakers to participate.

The identity of the session submitter is blinded to the program committee until after the sessions are finalized. Due to the sheer volume, we are unable to provide feedback rationale for accepting, rejecting, or combining submitted sessions. However, accepted sessions will be included on the IDWeek website when finalized and published including any subsequent updates. If the title, topics, speakers, and moderators in a suggested session are accepted with minimal or no changes, the session submitter’s contributions will be acknowledged on the IDWeek website.

As part of IDWeek’s efforts to comport with ACCME policies, one member of the IDWeek Program Committee will serve as a moderator of each session. This moderator will have final authority over the direction and content of session in collaboration with the speakers and will also attest to the session’s balance and scientific objectivity.

IDSA, in accordance with Joint Accreditation requirements and ACCME’s new Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education, requires everyone who is in a position to control the content of an accredited educational activity to disclose all financial relationships with any ineligible companies (those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients). The ACCME defines financial relationships as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 24 months that exists between the person in control of content and an ineligible company.

Faculty are required to either disclose financial relationships (name of ineligible company and nature of relationship) and include a statement that all relevant financial relationships have been mitigated or indicate that there are no relevant financial relationships. Disclosure to learners must not include ineligible companies’ corporate or product logos, trade names, or product group messages.

IDSA is responsible for ensuring that all CE-accredited activities are fair and balanced, and any clinical content presented supports safe, effective patient care. IDSA must also ensure all decisions related to the planning, faculty selection, delivery, and evaluation of accredited education are free from commercial bias and made without any influence or involvement from the owners and employees of an ineligible company.

Session Types

Industry sponsored affiliated events include up to 2-hour satellite symposia, 1-hour presentation theaters, and 45-minutes learning lounges.
