Information for Presenters
Oral Sessions
Please review your acceptance notice for the location and length of your presentation. Oral presentations must be prepared using PowerPoint or PDF formats, using a 16:9 screen ratio. One laptop with Windows 10 (no Macs available) with Office 2021, one LCD projector, and one screen is provided for all oral sessions. In addition, each room is equipped with a lectern, a podium and a wireless microphone, a computer mouse, a wireless PowerPoint advancer, and a speaker timer.
Poster Sessions
All poster sessions are in the Cargo Room. Poster presenters have one 4 x 6 foot horizontal (landscape) poster display surface. Please note that this is different than the standard 4 x 8 foot size. Please check the Program for specific times and topics. Numbers on these display surfaces correspond to the poster booth numbers listed in the Program. The poster boards accept push pins, and some pins are furnished for each poster. Authors can put up their posters before 10 a.m. Posters must be taken down after the poster session ends in the afternoon.
Speaker Ready Room
All oral presenters must visit the Speaker Ready Room (Wheeler Peak room) before their scheduled presentation to ensure their PowerPoint or PDF file is properly configured and operating, and to load it on one of the laptops. Failure to do so may result in presentations being omitted from sessions.
Speaker Ready Room hours are as follows:
Tuesday, 14 May: 3–7 p.m.
Wednesday, 15 May: 7 a.m.–6 p.m.
Thursday, 16 May: 7 a.m.–6 p.m.
Friday, 17 May: 7 a.m.–11 a.m.
Each speaker must bring a PowerPoint or PDF presentation on a USB compatible flash drive (a.k.a. thumb drive or memory stick) to the Speaker Ready Room for checking and uploading to the correct session folder. For morning sessions, talks must be uploaded the prior day. For afternoon sessions, talks must be uploaded by 10 a.m.
