   • Health equity across the life course: Programs, research, or community work that address health issues affecting the Appalachian Region through all stages of life.
   • Collaborations / How-to's: Exploring community-academic partnerships through presenting examples, lessons learned from "both sides” of partnership, and/or sharing more about these partnerships (e.g. successful strategies, how to get started, etc.).
   • Data-Driven Solutions: Data driven community solutions come with challenges. What is working? What challenges are associated with these approaches?
   • Ignite Session: Have an idea? Need a partner? This session will give presenters 6 - 8 minutes to "pitch" ideas/needs or seek collaborators with an opportunity for feedback.
   • Other: Not sure where your project or presentation fits? Choose this option.
