PAPER AND PANEL DISCUSSION SESSIONS

  1. The Coral Rooms I, II, and III will be provided with projectors. Someone in your session must provide their own laptop.  You should bring your presentation on a flash drive and perhaps also store it in the cloud just to be safe. For cost reasons, we could not provide a projector in Crystal II, where the panels will be.  Make sure panelists in that room know not to depend on slides.
  2. So the sessions run smoothly, all participants should make sure that their slides are loaded onto a single laptop – done ahead of when the session begins.  This will minimize any gaps between papers.
  3. Each session has been designated with a chair. Chairs, please communicate with your session participants to facilitate a smooth transition between papers.
  4. Session chairs are responsible for timing. There will be time for 20 minutes per paper. Since there are three or four papers in each session, that will allow for at least 20 minutes of facilitated discussion after the papers are completed.  If you finish your presentation before 20 minutes are up, there will be time for questions about your paper.
  5. All paper and panel sessions are in rooms in the DoubleTree Hotel, so they should be easy to locate, but please check your program for the room in which your session will take place.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

For those of you presenting posters, please observe the following specifications:

  1. We will provide easels, foam boards and push pins to display your posters. The foam boards are 36”x48”.
  2. You need to print your posters and bring the printed posters with you. You also need to make sure that the printed posters are not bigger than the 36” by 48” boards on which they will be displayed.
  3. Depending on what works better to display your research in poster form, you can print the poster in either portrait or landscape format.
  4. The Poster Session will be held on Thursday, November 6 from 1-4 PM outside the Coral III room (what the hotel staff calls the Catwalk).
  5. Poster presenters should have their posters on the foam boards placed on the easels no later than 12 noon on Thursday, November 6.
