Oral Presentation: Research papers, projects, or other scholarly activities may be presented as oral presentations and subsequently submitted to the Western Society Review in the Journal of Kinesiology and Wellness for publication the following year.

Panel: A selection of panelists with expertise or insight on a topic proceeds as follows: Topic > Concept > Positions > Discussion > Reflection.
 

Hot Topic: A hot topic in kinesiology or wellness can be presented in either an Oral Presentation, Round Table, or Panel format. This year's hot topic is: “Free Inquiry: Catalyst for the Advancement of Kinesiology.”

Student Posters: The R. D. Peavy Papers provide a forum for students to present refereed works at the WSKW conference in poster format. Undergraduate students are encouraged to present a poster of either original work or other written work. Robert D. Peavy is Professor Emeritus of Washington State University and he regularly attends WSKW to support the students who participate in these sessions.
