In a fast-paced, research-focused format, selected presenters will each deliver an 8-minute pitch describing their original research projects. Following each presentation, a panel of respected research audiologists will engage the presenters with thoughtful questions and offer constructive feedback designed to support their growth and refinement of ideas. The session culminates in audience participation, where attendees vote for the most compelling study of the day! More than a fun competition, this event is a platform for showcasing cutting-edge work, fostering mentorship, and generating dialogue between rising researchers and established leaders in the field.
