💯 and serving as a discussant is something that senior folks are happy to do in addition to presenting! Though, unfortunately I won't make it to ASHEcon next summer, I have welcomed cold emails to present/discuss on a panel in the past and welcome in the future!

Anne Fitzpatrick @annefitz13.bsky.social · 11mo ago

In response to a question I've gotten about organized sessions....yes, it's totally OK to cold email people, even senior people In my experience, people are generally happy you've thought of them and make it easier for them to submit If you don't know them: budget time for person to respond
