Length of Your Presentation
The length of your presentation is determined by the number of presenters in your session. Each session is 75 minutes, so divide that by the number of presenters. Make sure to allow a few minutes for Q&A at the end of your talk.
Slide Format
- An optional PowerPoint template can be downloaded here.
- Use the 16×9 format option in PowerPoint.
- Use type no smaller than 20pt (24pt and larger is best).
- Slides do not need to be submitted before the meeting. You will bring them with you and present using your own computer.
- No full paper is requested.
Your Audio-Visual Requirements
- There will be a projector and screen in every session room.
- Please bring your own laptopor notebook to connect to the projector in your meeting room. If you have a Mac, please bring your own adapter. Your computer output (USB-A, USB-C, etc.) will need to connect to the projector’s HDMI input. If your computer has an HDMI port, no adapter is needed. Technical assistance will be available if necessary.
- We recommend you also bring your slides on a USB as backup.
Presentation Guidelines
The room and location of your session are listed in the Technical Sessions section and in the schedule of the mobile app. Please be on time for your session and check in with the session chair.
- Presentations are expected to be in English.
- Limit the presentation to key issues with a brief summary.
- Time your presentation to fit within your designated time span, leaving time for audience questions.
- You may bring copies of your paper or other handouts to distribute to the audience.
Posters
Poster presenters need to bring a hard copy of their poster and hang it on their specified poster board in the exhibit hall. The poster boards measure 96 inches wide by 48 inches tall. We recommend a poster size of 72 inches wide by 36 inches tall. You may find best practices and more information here.
Session Chairs
The role of the chair is to coordinate the smooth running of the session. Please begin your session on time with a brief introduction and remind attendees to silence their phones. Meeting rooms will not have reliable internet access. Please keep the session on track and do not let anyone speak over their allotted time. After your session, use the online form to record your session title, estimated session attendance, and any no-show speakers.
After your session, complete the session chair attendance form here.
