Posters
Students presenting in poster sessions should bring a research poster to use in sharing their work. Poster presentations will provide an overview of the work conducted, the methods and/or materials used in pursuit of project goals, the outcomes, and contributions to the field. Students presenting posters should expect to stay by their poster throughout their assigned session, have a 3-5 minute summary for visitors, using their poster as a visual guide,. You should also be prepared to answer questions.
Size requirements: Posters can be printed in either landscape or portrait format but should not exceed total overall dimensions of 36" × 48" (H × W).
Oral Presentations
Students presenting in concurrent sessions will share their work as an oral talk. Talks should be tailored to a general audience and may be accompanied by a visual slide show, handouts, live demonstrations, or performance. During the allotted time presenters should plan to introduce their field and address the motivation, goals, methodology or medium, outcomes, and significance of their work. Each presenter will take questions from the audience for up to 5 minutes following their talk.
Length: Presentations should be a total of 15 minutes in length. Presenters should plan to speak for 10 minutes and allot 5 minutes for questions and answers. The time limit will be enforced by session moderators.
Considerations:
- Arrive early: Students giving talks should plan to arrive at their designated session location at least 15 minutes early so they have time to load their presentation onto the provided computer.
- Content: We strongly advise against the use of video and audio. Presentations are 15 minutes in length, and technical difficulties which frequently stem from use of these supplemental content types often cause substantial delays.
- Technical: Each room will have a screen and computer provided; presenters will be asked to upload their presentation to the computer in the room before the session begins.
- The computer available in the concurrent session rooms will be a PC.
- Students should plan to present using PowerPoint and should be prepared to share their presentation ahead of time with a general account for ease of access during the session.
- All students are encouraged to bring a PDF copy of their presentation as a back-up.
- Moderators will assist with uploading files.
Performances: More information about including live performance in your presentation to come soon.
Be mindful of time. Each oral presentation slot will be a maximum of 15 minutes. This includes your presentation, Q&A, and transition to the next speaker. As a general guide, plan to speak no more than 10 minutes, and take questions for 3-5 minutes. We will stick to a strict schedule so that attendees may move from room to room during the sessions, to attend presentations of interest.
