Accepted Abstracts
Time Requirements
The daily schedule for this conference will be very complex with up to six simultaneous sessions being offered throughout the day. Each presenter will be told of their time limitation in advance and the moderators for each session will be adamant about following a strict schedule. Presenters should time their presentations carefully before arriving in Minneapolis.
Language Requirements
The conference will be conducted in English. Any presenters unable to speak English should make arrangements with a colleague to present on their behalf and be available for the question and answer period to act as translator.
Audiovisual Requirements
All presenters are urged to use PowerPoint slides for use during their presentations. Presentations including video or other high-resolution graphics should be flagged to be tested in advance. An audiovisual laboratory will be available onsite at the conference.
The conference will not be producing a syllabus of handouts. If speakers wish to distribute copies of slides or other materials, the meeting website will provide a password-protected page where such materials can be downloaded post-conference.
PSAV Presentation Services has been selected as the audio visual company for the conference. All PowerPoint presentations are due by May 1 so they can be prepared and tested accordingly. If there are changes to your presentation after that date, please notify Jon in advance and resend the updated presentation to him.
