 General Information for Presenters:
  • Please note that you will have an allotted time to present during your session. As you continue planning for your presentation, we ask that you be mindful of your allotted time to keep the program on-time and to be fair to the other speakers. Please remember to practice your presentation to ensure it stays within the time limit. With so many presentations taking place, it is vital everyone stays on-time so that all presenters receive their share of time and questions are not cut short.
  • If you will be showing a PowerPoint to attendees, you will need to submit it to us before the conference. PowerPoint presentations are due by Tuesday, January 24th. The presentation must be in widescreen 16:9 format and saved as a PPTX file. Your PowerPoint will be pre-loaded onto conference computers and you will control it through a slide advancer that you will point at the back of the room. 
Session Structure:  

Your session will begin with a welcome from your session moderator/organizer. Your session moderator will introduce the session, introduce each speaker before they present and then will host a group Q&A once the final presentation has concluded. Presentations will take place back-to-back during each part of session. Please note that you will have an allotted time to present during your session. As you continue planning for your presentation, we ask that you be mindful of your allotted time to keep the program on-time and to be fair to the other speakers. 

Session Q&A: Presentations will occur back-to-back. Then the presenters of each session will participate in a group Q&A. Questions will be submitted from the audience via the Whova platform. The Whova platform will accept questions submitted through the phone app or the computer web browser. If an attendee does not have access to either of these, they can submit a question to a volunteer in the back of the room to be added to the platform for consideration. Moderators will have full discretion on which questions to ask live of presenters.
