Additional Logistics
Session Length: Most speaking sessions are 60 minutes. It is encouraged to save 10 minutes for Q&A with the audience. Workshops and seminars are 4 hours long with a one-hour break.
Tech Checks: Provide your Main Podium presentation on a flash drive to the AV table at least 24 hours before your session. Please arrive 20 minutes before your session so the AV techs can wire you with a microphone and test the signal. If you're presenting a workshop or seminar, please bring your presentation to the classroom on a laptop. Please arrive at least 30 minutes in advance to ensure adequate set-up time.
