2nd Annual Healthy Living Summit
October 21-23, 2015 | Barrow, Alaska
Call for Presentations
The North Slope Borough and the Arctic Slope Native Association are hosting the 2 nd Annual Healthy
Living Summit at the Barrow High School from October 21-23, 2015. We are seeking proposals that
explore emerging and current health issues, health advocacy, and topics that have an impact on the
North Slope population. We are inviting you to submit a proposal to be a presenter at our upcoming
Summit, and be a part of our dynamic community and culture for three days!
Proposals will be accepted for:
Presentations - Team or individual proposals accepted. Sessions will run 75-90 minutes and
should allow for in-depth presentation and Q&A.
Panels - Panel discussions will be considered. They may be organized and submitted as a group
by a panel coordinator, or an individual may submit their particular viewpoint to become part of a
panel. Ideally, this will last 60 minutes and be held during a lunchtime session.
Workshop – If a longer session than 75 minutes is desired, please describe in detail why. We will
offer “Part I” and “Part II” (two 75-minute sessions) as well, so please keep that in mind when
submitting proposals.
Poster/Booth – Posters/Booths are aimed at sharing research, programs, program activities,
school information, hands-on safety techniques, among other things. Please keep in mind your
booth/poster should be accompanied by a representative during the Summit.

The Summit will have three tracks: a community track, a health provider track, and a youth track.
Presentations of all three tracks will run concurrently all three days, except for the youth track,
which will be dedicated to the final day on Friday, the 23rd. Youth from the surrounding villages of
the North Slope and Barrow High School will attend the youth track on Friday, as the schools
have allowed the students to “miss” school in order to attend sessions geared toward the youth.
All meeting rooms will be equipped with a laptop, projector and screen. For larger spaces, such
as the auditorium (panel discussions, for instance), microphones will be provided as well.
Wireless internet access will be available, however, keep in mind, it will be much slower on the
North Slope than what you are used to elsewhere in Alaska/out of state. All meeting rooms will
have a moderator.
