ORAL PRESENTATIONS

 

You do NOT need to send us your presentation prior to the conference. Please bring your presentation with you as a PowerPoint file. The presentation needs to be on a FLASH DRIVE (USB drive). You will need to report to your presentation room 30-minutes prior to the beginning of the session block. (i.e. 1:00 p.m. for the 1:30 p.m.-3:00 p.m. concurrent session block.).  There will be an AV tech in each room who will assist in loading and testing each of the presentations. We will have a laptop computer (with PowerPoint) and a projector in each room. Please bring your own laser pointer should you desire to use one.

 

Each presenter in the oral presentations will have 20 minutes – ideally, 15 for the presentation and 5 for questions and answers.

 

Be sure to check the final program that you will receive when checking in at the conference registration table to confirm your final room assignment and time of your presentation. Please remember to report 30-minutes prior to the beginning of the session block with your presentation.
