Your Presentation

Please use the following guidelines and information to be as prepared as possible for the meeting. When completing the submission form, please indicate your preference for an oral or a poster presentation, however you must be prepared to accept the assignment as either oral or poster. This will assist the selection committee in the proper placement of your paper.

Oral Presentations

Talks will be scheduled in 15-minute time slots. We strongly encourage a presentation of no more than 12 minutes to allow three minutes for discussion and to entertain questions from those in the audience. In special cases, and at the discretion of the session organizers, invited presenters may be given two consecutive slots to provide a tutorial talk at the beginning of the session. The time limit will be strictly enforced to facilitate movement between sessions.

Preparing Your Electronic Presentation

Computer projection equipment for electronic presentations will be available in each oral session meeting room. To minimize any compatibility problems, please assure that your presentation design does not exceed XGA (1024 x 768). Detailed information on the types of software and instructions for authors will be sent electronically to all oral presenters and will be posted on the meeting web site at a later date.

All files that are used in the PowerPoint presentation (pictures, video clips, audio clips) should be saved in a folder, along with the PowerPoint presentation itself. If you plan to do a PowerPoint presentation, it is highly recommended that you have a backup of your presentation on overhead transparencies.

Rental of Additional Audio-Visual Equipment

Rental of a VCR, monitor, slide projector, audio systems, provision of extra power outlets, extra tables, stands, etc. can be handled for an additional cost. Costs for additional equipment will be billed to the presenting author. Please contact the conference management office for other presentation requests.
