Information for Oral Presenters

We recommend bringing your presentation on a jump drive, as well as emailing it to yourself, in case of technical issues with the jump drive. All talks from accepted abstracts should be 10-12 minutes. Help us stay on schedule by staying within the time limit. Please be at the room at least 15 minutes ahead of the session to arrange for the projection of your slides, if possible. For ease of transitioning between presentations, copy your presentation from your jump drive to the “Desktop” of the PC located in the room you are assigned to present.

Also please note that the presentation rooms are equipped with PC’s. No conversion cords are provided for Apples/MAC computers. If you must use your own Apple/MAC (we do not recommend this) please remember that you must bring your own conversion cord to connect to the projector.

We will make all abstracts available via online. However, note that our presenters may update presentations, abstracts, and other information being presented slightly before or during the event.

Information for Poster Session Presenters

Due to such a great response, we are pleased to announce that over 50 posters will be presented. Poster Session Set-up Assignments will be given to Poster Presenters at Registration/ Check-in so make sure you stop by and get your badge as soon as you get here. We recommend a 3'x 4' or a 4’ x 4’ size of poster to display. The time to set-up posters is from 7:00 am – 12:00 pm on Friday, November 11th and the Poster Session will begin promptly at 1:00 pm.
