Guidelines for Podium Presentations
It is requested that you also do a poster presentation. For more details see Poster Guidelines.
Delivery of your Presentation
We will adhere to a very tight schedule for this meeting. We have been asked to ensure that there is no meeting down time while presentations are uploaded. Thus, your presentation slides need to be dropped off on Wednesday, June 16, 2009 at the Elite Palace Hotel, from 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Our staff will be accepting presentations. Thank you for your kind assistance with these logistics.
Your Presentation
Session Chair Introductions: The Session Chair is to 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 5 minutes, followed immediately by questions from the audience.
Test Run
On the break prior to your presentation, please go to the lectern to test 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 test run. Please contact us, so that we can schedule the test 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
Windows platform will be supported at the meeting. Mac will not be supported. 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: laser pointer, wireless mouse, gooseneck microphone, water, notepaper, and pen. If you have another need that we have not addressed, please notify us.
