Instructions to plan your presentations (Please look for updates here)

  • Session Presenters: 

    • Your sessions will occur on Friday and Saturday, Oct 18-19, 2024.

    • Closed Captioning: In the interest of inclusivity, presenters will activate a closed captioning feature on laptops during their presentations. This is a freely available way to have your words written on the screen. Our AV volunteer, Seth Mitchell, created this instruction sheet to prepare your computer. We recommend reviewing this instruction sheet prior to the conference to ensure your presentation software is up to date, and to gain familiarity toggling the feature on and off. If this is unfamiliar or unclear to you, please ask a colleague or student to help. Or, when you arrive at the conference, ask at the registration desk for someone to assist you. 

    • Audio Visual Equipment:

      • Breakout rooms will have dongles with various adaptors to link your laptop computer to the projector. Bluetooth clickers will also be available. 

      • We have a speaker to connect to laptops for presenters who requested them. 

      • If you are no longer able to bring your laptop, please contact [email protected]. 

    • Session timing:

      • Please arrive 5 minutes early to your session.

      • In the 30 minute sessions, there is a 5 minute transition between co-session presentations. We encourage presenters to remain in the room during the other 30 minute session (e.g. 1&2; 3&4), unless there are pressing reasons to change rooms before the 10-minute transition time. 

      • Please respect the schedule by synchronizing watches with other presenters and heeding the time cues that our student moderators will give you. 

      • The conference design emphasizes discourse that will benefit presenters and attendees. Half of the time is dedicated to discussion. Plan your presentation to adhere to time frames as a courtesy to attendees and other speakers, and timing for session transitions.  Please respect our Student Moderators’ signals about time.

    • Please begin your session by introducing yourselves.

    • Accessibility guidelines: 

  • Poster Presenters:

 

  • Arts-Based Experience Presenters:

    • We are working to have the set up you requested for your session.

    • Contact [email protected] with any questions or updates. 

You will receive more information as the conference approaches.  In the meantime, please contact Sue Coppola with any questions you have about the conference: [email protected]
