Guidelines for Podium Presentations

 
Poster Board presentation
You are not required to do a poster board presentation of your abstract.

DELIVERY OF YOUR PRESENTATION

We will adhere to a very tight schedule for this meeting, and we have been asked to ensure that there is no meeting down time while presentations are uploaded. Please email to Jennifer@strategicresults.com, or drop by the Hyatt Bethesda, Business Center, 2nd floor, from 6:00- 7:00pm, Sunday, October 5, 2008.  Our staff will be accepting presentations.   Thank you for your kind assistance with these logistics.

YOUR PRESENTATION

Session Chair Introductions: The Session Chair will introduce you.  Typically, the Chair will mention your co-authors and affiliation. Please let us know if there is anything you wish to have the session chair highlight.

Oral Podium Presentation: The presentation time is 10 minutes, followed immediately by questions from the audience.
 
Trial Run: During the break prior to your presentation, please go to the lectern to trial run your presentation. Our staff will be present to assist you.

Streaming Video: If your presentation includes a video stream, you will need to do a trial run. Please contact Jennifer@strategicresults.com, so that we can schedule the trial run with our support team. 
 
Timing: You will receive a visual reminder via a yellow light from the timer when you are to conclude the explanatory part of your presentation and move on to questions. When the light turns red, you have exceeded the presentation time frame and should move on to questions. If the light begins to flash, you should conclude your presentation.

Technical Platforms: Both MAC and Windows will be supported at the meeting. Our audiovisual technician will open your previously uploaded presentation just prior to your presentation. Your file will be on the desktop of the laptop at the speakers’ lectern. If you wish to present in another format, please let us know.

At the Lectern: For your convenience, we will provide the following: laser pointer, wireless mouse, gooseneck microphone, water, notepaper, and pen. If you have another need that we have not addressed, please notify us. Email Jennifer@strategicresults.com
