Oral/Paper Presentations
Please be advised that we will provide PowerPoint projectors, and laptops in all breakout rooms. Please ensure to bring your file on USB or Flash Drive and arrive at least 10 minutes early to load your presentation.
Individual Presentations: Papers will be allotted approximately 15-minute time slots per presentation with time for questions and will be grouped with similar presentations on the same topic. Presenters are responsible for the duplication and costs of providing handouts of their presentation to participants. Sometimes it is difficult to determine how much data one can present in a 15-minute time slot. Our experience suggests that information presented on 10 -12 slides is the absolute maximum that effectively can be communicated to the audience. As a presenter, please remember, you have to explain enough of the background, method, and other important features of your study in order to give the audience sufficient knowledge of the foundations of your research.
Symposium Presentations: A symposium is a 75-minute session with 3 or more speakers presenting papers on a common theme or issue. The symposium organizer/chair will provide an overall description of the symposium. The symposium chair will be the main contact person for the conference organizers.
All presenters must register in advance and pay applicable fees.
Poster Presentations
The poster session will be approximately 75-90 minutes and the author or a co-author must be present at the assigned display during the designtaed time.
Shipping
