Oral Sessions
Concurrent oral sessions will be held
throughout the meeting. Contributed papers are limited to 10 minutes with
an additional 2 minutes for discussion and 1 minute for transition to the
next speaker. A warning via the timing monitor will be given at 8 minutes
to indicate that the speaker has to finish in 2 minutes. At 10 minutes, a
warning will indicate that the speaker's presentation time is over. At
12 minutes, a signal informs the speaker and audience that the transition
to the next speaker must take place.
Audiovisual Equipment
All rooms will be equipped with an LCD
projector, overhead projector, screen, lavaliere microphone, and pointer.
Speakers planning to use the LCD projector must provide their own laptop
computer. A Speaker Ready Room will be available to run through the
presentation to ensure that it goes smoothly with the LCD projection
equipment. (It is strongly recommended that the presentation also
be available on transparencies as a back-up to the computer presentation.)
Please have your laptop turned on and ready to go when you arrive at the
session in which you are speaking, if you are using the LCD projector.
Additional equipment can be rented by
ordering directly through the contracted A-V company servicing the
meeting. Additional A-V equipment may also be ordered on-site at the
meeting directly through the A-V company. The cost of additional equipment
