CALICO includes a number of session types, including Workshops (half day, full day, or two day) that take place before and after the main presentation days. These workshops are hands-on and must be registered for ahead of time. During the main days of the conference the presentation types include 30-Minute Presentations that can include those theory-driven focusing on a range from quantitative/qualitative studies of language technology, application of technology for classroom use, or any of a range of language technology uses/applications for language acquisition; 75-minute Panels offering multiple perspectives on a topic; Technology Showcases where the presenters demonstrate new and interesting technologies; and Poster Presentations.
In addition to the presentations, each CALICO symposium also includes special interest group meetings focused on a variety of topics: Computer-Mediated Communication, Gaming, Grad Student SIGN, Language Teaching and Learning Technologies, Second Language Acquisition and Technology, Teacher Education, and Immersive Realities.
