Instructions for Presentation of Oral Papers:
- There will be information for authors at the registration area at which you can obtain information. Check the Final Program when you check in for the exact time of your presentation as it may have changed slightly from when originally scheduled. Any last minute changes to the program will also be posted daily.
- Each paper will be assigned a 20-minute time slot. The length of the paper should not exceed 15 minutes to allow 5 minutes for questions and discussions. The 20-minute time period will be strictly enforced as we have a very full schedule.
- An LCD projector and overhead projector will be available for presentations (slide projection will not be available). You must bring a copy of the presentation on CD or on a USB Drive in order to make your presentation from the conference laptop (PC). All presenters planning on making LCD projected presentations must be at their session at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session to check their equipment. If any difficulties arise, speakers should be ready to use overheads as a backup.
Instructions for Poster Presentations:
-
The poster session will be Tuesday afternoon.
-
Poster set-up and tear down instructions will be provided at the registration desk.
-
Your poster must be attended throughout the entire time slotted for poster presentations by at least one speaker.

Each poster will be given an area that is 8 x 4 feet and may be a single large sheet or multiple panels.
-
The conference will provide materials for hanging posters.
-
Text and figures on posters should be easily readable from a distance of 3-5 feet.

If possible, have a summary of your poster or copies of the panels available to hand out to interested parties.
