Tips for Presenters
- Consider a 30-second elevator pitch to introduce your research question.
- Focus the rest of your presentation on key findings.
- Practice. Moderators will cut presenters off at 4 minutes.
Live Q&A (Dec 14-18)
Poster Presenters (who choose to) will be assigned a Live Q&A session Mon, Tues, Thurs, or Friday during the meeting week (schedule TBA). Presenters will be grouped by theme in 30-minute mini sessions. Each presenter in a session will give a 4-minute presentation about their key findings. At the end of the speakers, the group of presenters will then take questions from attendees for 15 minutes.
- Presenters who chose not to participate in the Live Q&A sessions will have their posters (with or without descriptive video) for viewing only.
- Live Q&A Sessions will not be recorded.
