Below, you will find general guidelines for oral and poster presentations. All presenters should attend the 2024 Keynote Address on Monday, April 8, from 3-4 p.m.

Guidelines for Oral Presentations

Each oral session will feature concurrent presentations in separate rooms. On Monday, April 8, 2024, the four 50-minute oral sessions will follow the Monday class schedule from 10:20 a.m. to 2:40 p.m. On Tuesday, April 9, 2024, the five 75-minute oral sessions will follow the Tuesday class schedule from 9:35 a.m. to 5:10 p.m.

  • Each oral session room will have a laptop and projector. Presenters are responsible for bringing a copy of their presentation on a USB flash drive. We recommend saving your presentation in either PowerPoint or PDF format.
  • Arrive 15 minutes before the start of your assigned session to check in at the registration desk, find your assigned room, introduce yourself to the session convener, and set up your presentation.
  • You will have 15 minutes for your presentation, including 1-2 minutes for an introduction; 10‐12 minutes for your presentation; and 1‐3 minutes for a Q&A.
