Oral Presentations -

Oral presentations are scheduled for 15 minutes per talk: 10 minutes for speaking, and 5 minutes for discussion and speaker transition.

Audio-visual equipment provided will include laptop PCs (loaded with Office 2016) and Macs (loaded with Office 2016 and Keynote 6.6) and an LCD projector. There is no option for dual-screen presentations.

Presentation validation will be in the Arizona Boardroom. Checking in oral presentations is the most important step presenters can take to ensure their presentations are successful. Those presenting on Monday morning should check in their presentations on Sunday evening when they check in. IMPORTANT NOTE: Use of personal laptops will not be allowed.
