Guidelines for Presenters

Invited, Keynote & Oral Presentations

Each session track will be moderated by a Chair and Co-chair. Each track will have a combination of 20-minute Oral and Invited presentations. Some tracks will also have a 40-minute Keynote presentation. Speakers with a 20-minute slot should plan to speak for 15-17 minutes, and Keynote speakers should plan to speak for 35 minutes, with the remaining time to be used for questions and the transition time including speaker introductions by the session chair or co-chair.

Due to the tight presentation schedule, you will need to bring your presentation (on your laptop) to the meeting room at least 15 minutes in advance of the START of the session. We will have student assistants in each room and a switching device so that we can quickly switch from laptop to laptop in between talks. We will have an area setup near the projector so that your laptop can stay powered and hooked up to our switcher.

In order to use the switcher, your laptop must have a VGA port or be able to have an adapter to enable connection to a VGA cable.

If you do not have a laptop or your laptop does not have the correct port you can bring your presentation on a thumb drive. We will have a session laptop available for this purpose. However, due to the fact that using a different laptop can sometimes result in unforeseen issues, we strongly urge you to allow us to use your laptop since you have already tested your presentation on it. That said, we strongly urge you to ALSO bring your presentation on a thumb drive, just in case there is an issue with your laptop. That way we can quickly move it to the session laptop.

We will also have a remote slide advancer with laser pointer, but you are welcome to use your own to avoid the time required to install the software driver onto your laptop.

Presenter Guidelines

• PowerPoint slides should be prepared for a widescreen (16:9) format for best readability with our projection parameters.
