Presenter Information

Spoken Presentations

  1. Presentation Equipment: You have the choice of using your own laptop or a Windows-based laptop in the presentation room.
    • If you are not using your own laptop, you must bring your slides on a USB drive or have it accessible on the internet so it can been loaded onto the room machine prior to your talk.
    • If you are using your own laptop, the available connections are both VGA and HDMI; please bring any adapters necessary for your machine.
    • NOTE: the aspect ratio of all projectors in the Kimmel Center is 16:9; please format your presentations accordingly to avoid cutting off information and/or ugly slides.
  2. Presentation Setup/Testing
    • All presenters must test their setup or upload their files to the room computer during one of the breaks prior to their session. Presentation rooms will be available in the mornings starting at 8:30am.
  3. Presentation Timing System
    • Talks are 12 minutes, with 3 minutes for questions and transition.
    • 1 bell = 2 minutes left
    • 3 bells = time is up
    • Bell ringing unceasingly = you have used up even your Q&A time and are about to eat into the next presentation. You are done.
  4. Session Chairs: Each spoken presentation will have a session chair, who will introduce speakers by name, affiliation, and talk title. If you are not the primary author and are presenting, please let the chair know so that you can be introduced correctly.
