Concurrent Session Presenters

Dear Oral Presenters and Replacement Authors,

This is last update (October, 2005) to the Author’s link and includes important conference information.

REGISTRATION

All presenting authors for both concurrent sessions and poster sessions must be fully registered for the conference.

Oral presenters will be directed onsite to the speaker ready room and must present a registration badge in order to have their presentation accepted.

It is highly recommended that you pre register to bypass any extended waits at the registration area.

ORAL CONCURRENT SESSIONS

It is the responsibility of the first author to ensure that he / she or a replacing author returns a faculty disclosure form. The same stringent more stringent regulations apply to a replacing author and in order for your presentation to qualify for CME credit, a faculty disclosure is required in advance of the program.

If your replacing author has not already done so, could you please download the faculty disclosure and send the completed disclosure along with your CV to:

Please refer to the online program for the day, date and time of your concurrent session(s).

At The Conference: Oral Presentations Instructions

Upon arrival at registration, you will be directed to the speaker ready room to deliver a final copy of your AV presentation to be used during the concurrent session.

You must be registered and present your registration badge at the Speaker Ready Room.

The presentations will be loaded onto the conference network, and not in the meeting rooms where the concurrent sessions are being held.

Presentation Timing

Your presentation cannot exceed 15 minutes of verbal presentation. A room monitor will be in the room, holding time cards as a reminder of where you are in the presentation.

The remaining period of time will be dedicated to Q&A from the audience, also managed by a room monitor.

Submission : 24 hours in Advance of Your Presentation

Presentations must be submitted 24 hours in advance of your presentation. Due to the number of presentations we need to handle, your presentation needs to be submitted in a timely manner to ensure your presentation gets posted on to the conference network. After submission to the speaker ready room, changes cannot be made to your presentation.

Presentation Copies

Two copies of your presentation should be labeled with the following information CDROM or Flash Drive:

  • Concurrent Session Title (please note that you will receive a second notice on the session you are presenting in)
  • Date of presentation
  • Time
  • Title of Presentation
  • Author's Name
  • Email Contact Information
  • Hotel Location while in Boston

Slides must be prepared in Microsoft PowerPoint (U.S. letter size in landscape page layout) and please use common fonts where possible and provide, with your submission, any special fonts used. In addition, if you have any imbedded videos, please make sure the file is included with your submission.

Audio Visual

Adequate Audio Visual Equipment will be provided in your presentation including computer, LCD Projector and a remote slide changer supported by audio and technical support. 35mm slide projectors and overhead will not be automatically provided.
