Joint Collaborative Committees

2027 JCC Showcase Call for abstract submission guidelines

Join us on January 25, 2027, to share the story of your Joint Collaborative Committee (JCC) project, program, or initiative with colleagues and partners at the JCC Showcase. The overarching theme is once again “Connect, Collaborate, Elevate.”

SUBMISSION DEADLINE JULY 7, 2026

Presentation Types

There are three (3) presentation types available for submission:

  1. Workshop: A 60-minute presentation (inclusive of Q&A). Please ensure you have distinct learning outcomes listed in your submission that outline the uniqueness of your session. Priority will be given to first-time workshop presenters. *A maximum of three (3) presenters
  2. Rapid-Fire: A 15-minute presentation (inclusive of Q&A) as part of a themed session that will be grouped by the steering committee. *A maximum of two (2) presenters
  3. Storyboard: You will present a printed poster of your project. This poster will be up all day, but you’re asked to present it to attendees during the reception at the end of the day. Your poster should be no larger than 44″ × 44″. You will be responsible for printing your own poster. *A maximum of one (1) presenter

You will be asked to indicate your interest in which presentation types you are interested in presenting submitting your abstract.  Abstracts will be considered for all format(s).  When you receive an acceptance, it will be clear what format you’ve been accepted as.  Workshops and rapid-fire presentations will have the option to also present your project as a storyboard.  If you choose to have your workshop or rapid-fire presented also as a storyboard, you aren’t allowed to bring in an additional speaker, they must be one of the same presenting the talk.
