Oral Presentation Guidelines

While preparing their presentations, authors are encouraged (but not required) to utilize the conference template.

Audiovisual-Speakers should plan to use the conference-supplied computers to present their material. Power Point and PDF are acceptable formats.

ALL presentations are to be submitted to kathleen@ballos.com by 12:00 noon (EST) October 8, 2024. No personal computers will be allowed. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING A BACKUP OF YOUR PRESENTATION WITH YOU. USB thumb drives are the only acceptable form of media to load on to the conference computer. Presentations should be submitted in PDF or PowerPoint only.

Use large enough fonts so that the material can be seen clearly from the back of the room (~60 ft). Please avoid crowded view graphs, which are difficult to see and explain. No more than 5 to 6 points should be made on a single slide. Please break up material. 

Timing

• Presentation: 20 minutes - including Q&A

• Presenters should plan to speak for approximately 17 minutes to allow 2-3 minutes for questions at the end
