Presentation Guidelines

Please review the below guidelines prior to putting together your presentations.

Platform Instructions

You will be given a maximum of 15 minutes for each presentation, including time for questions. It is strongly recommended that you aim to present for 12 minutes, with 3 minutes for questions and for people to move among sessions. CEW session chairs are instructed to stick firmly to the time slots allotted so participants can take advantage of the various offerings at concurrent sessions.

Key Platform Guidelines

  • The aspect ratio of all projectors is 16 x 9.

  • The presentations should be a maximum of 12 min long.

Presenters will be required to save their PowerPoint presentations on the computer in their presenting room at least 20 min before their session begins. Session co-chairs may be in touch with further instructions.

Poster Instructions

Two full-day poster sessions are planned (Tuesday and Wednesday). Posters will be on display for the entire day and presenters will be able to discuss their posters with workshop delegates during refreshment breaks and at a daily late afternoon / early evening poster social. Authors have been assigned to a “Tuesday Poster Session” or a “Wednesday Poster Session” from 5 PM to 7:00 PM; authors should stand by their posters during the assigned times so that other workshop participants can discuss the presentation. Notwithstanding the author’s assigned time, all posters should be set up by 7 AM – 8 AM and taken down by 8 PM of the assigned presentation day.

​

Posters should be a maximum of 4 feet high by 8 feet wide as these are the dimensions of the poster boards. A common size for posters that fit the poster boards well are 3 feet high by 4 feet wide (i.e., 36“ x 48”). It is recommended that you bring business cards to hand out during poster sessions, paper-sized copies of your poster and/or place a QR code on the poster. Fabric poster panels and pins will be provided.  Each poster panel will be marked with the appropriate poster number; please put your poster up on the panel with the correct number assigned.

Key Poster Guidelines

  • Posters should be a maximum of 4 feet high by 8 feet wide (i.e., landscape orientation)
