Agenda

Interactivity Overview

To promote active learning and knowledge retention, each session incorporates a minimum of 25% interactivity between speakers and participants. Interactive strategies include:

  • Moderated Q&A: Each presentation includes dedicated time for real-time questions and discussion.
  • Case-Based Learning: Presentations are delivered in a 1:2 case-to-discussion format.
  • Audience Participation: Attendees were invited in advance to submit one challenging/worst hip and one knee case for peer discussion.
  • Summary Slides: Used to reinforce key learning points (not counted toward interactive time).
  • Panel Discussions: Facilitated dialogue with audience input in selected sessions.
