Abstract & Presentation Guidelines   return to top

Abstract Requirements

 

·        All abstracts must follow the formatting guidelines

o       Click here for the 2008 Abstract Template

·        All abstracts must be 500 words or less.  Abstracts longer than 500 words will be returned for revision

·        All abstracts must be submitted in rich text format.  When saving documents in Microsoft Word, select .rtf (rich text format)

·        Abstracts must not contain pictures.  Any abstracts containing pictures will be returned for revision

Poster Specifications

 

·        Each poster must fit on a poster board measuring 4 feet tall x 4 feet wide. This may be achieved either as multiple panels or a single panel (whichever suits your style best).

·        Your poster or poster panels should be mountable to the poster board using standard push pins or tacks.

Oral Presentation Selection Process

 

·        If you wish to be considered for an oral presentation, remember to check the appropriate box when uploading your abstract.

·        There are only a limited number of oral presentation slots. Therefore we must limit the number of abstracts accepted for oral presentations. Those individuals who wish to be considered for oral presentation but who are not selected for oral presentations will be notified that they have been selected to submit a poster. Please understand that only about a fifth of the abstracts considered for oral presentations can be selected for that format. The remaining four-fifths will be switched to poster format. We will notify you of our selection decision on or before June 13th.

Oral Presentation Specifications

 

·        Plan on a 13-15 minute talk, followed by a 3-5 minute discussion period. Please help us to facilitate discussion of your talk by observing the 15 minute presentation limit. We will notify you when 2 minutes remain in your presentation (i.e. when 13 minutes have elapsed). If the oral presentation goes beyond the allotted time a member of the organizing committee will be forced to stop the presentation and introduce the next speaker. Please practice for the time you have. We believe that this format will be most conducive to discussion and proper flow of the meeting.

·        We will provide an LCD projector (please see below). You may choose to utilize any compatible AV aids.

·        Important: Students giving oral presentations will be required to use Power Point, please save your presentation a CD-ROM disk. If you use a Mac to generate your Power Point presentation, please save your slides in a PC-accessible format. We will have a PC laptop with a CD-ROM drive and USB drive. All presentations will be loaded prior to presentations to allow for seamless transitions between presenters.
