Guidelines For Presentations, Panel Discussions and Workshops

Conference sessions are limited to 50 minutes in length, including 10 minutes or more of meaningful audience participation, such as individual or group exercises, break-out sessions, or question-and-answer periods. (We request that you do not simply read a paper.) All sessions should include handouts, and they should incorporate visual aids if appropriate.

Please include the following information in your proposal:
    Your name, academic title, department, and institution as you wish it to appear in the printed conference program. If you are proposing a group presentation, workshop or panel discussion, please include this information for all the presenters, and clearly indicate which individual is the main contact person.
    Complete contact information, including postal address(es), phone and fax numbers, e-mail address(es), web URL(s), etc.
    The title of your presentation, a description of approximately 250 words, and a brief abstract to include in the printed conference program (limited to 100 words). The description should explain how you plan to involve the audience in your session.
    A complete list of any computer or audio-visual equipment you will need for your presentation.
 
Guidelines For Posters

The poster session is a major part of the conference. The posters will be available for perusal throughout the conference, and they will be prominently displayed in major gathering places. Please ensure that your posters are clearly readable from a distance, and that your posters tell a meaningful story even to visitors who happen to see them while the posters are unattended.

You may use visual display devices or equipment that you provide and that can be left unattended.

Please have a sufficient number of handouts available near your posters, and check frequently to ensure there are adequate numbers of handouts available during the conference.

Please include the following information on your poster and/or handouts:
    Your name, academic title, department, and institution as you wish it to appear in the printed conference program. If your posters are a group effort, then please include this information for all the presenters, and clearly indicate which individual is the main contact person.
    Complete contact information, including postal address(es), phone and fax numbers, e-mail address(es), web URL(s), etc.
    The title of your poster presentation, and a brief abstract to include in the printed conference program (limited to 100 words).
    A complete list of any computer or audio-visual equipment you will need for your poster. Sorry, but we cannot provide equipment that will be left unattended.
