Presentations
Posters stands and boards will be provided. The poster mounting board is 40" wide by 30" high. Posters larger than this will not fit on the mounting board, so the maximum poster size should be 40" x 30". All presentation rooms will be equipped with appropriate audio/visual equipment. Oral presentations should be no more than 12 minutes in length with 3 minutes allowed for questions. Prior to traveling to the symposium, oral presenters should make their presentation accessible via their email or on the cloud (e.g., a link to a Google Slides presentation or an attached PowerPoint file sent to yourself). At registration, there will be computers for oral presenters to access and download their presentation. (Be sure to bring your email/google etc. login information!).
