Oral Presentations —
A PC laptop, LCD projector, and speaker remote will be available for presentation of oral talks during the scientific sessions. Please note the guidelines below for your presentation.
- Ensure your presentation “plays” on a standard Windows 7 computer equipped as described. Although the use of Macs is strongly discouraged, if you require a Mac to properly present you must provide your own.
- Speaker presentation periods of 15 minutes will be strictly enforced. You will be given a one-minute warning when a convener visibly stands and then another when the convener stands a second time.
- Presentation slides should be limited to 10 slides or less in order to adhere to the allotted 15 minutes.
In order to facilitate a smooth transition between speakers, and provide each speaker their allotted time, we will preload and test all presentations in advance. Please see the times for loading below. We will have an A/V technician available to assist you with loading and testing.
To expedite the loading and testing of your file:
- Create a folder called “SESSION DAY_SPEAKER NAME_TALK TIME” and place your presentation in this folder.
- The use of personal laptops is strongly discouraged.
- No Mac laptops will be provided.
- Loading times for presentations:
- AM Presentations: 8:30 a.m.
- PM Presentations: 12:30 p.m.
The meeting room will be equipped with the following minimum hardware and software. If you anticipate the need for any other software for your presentation, please notify USRA immediately at [email protected].
