Guidelines for Oral Presenters

If you are giving an oral presentation, these guidelines will be helpful.

• Very important: Each presentation MUST be in a PowerPoint file and read from a memory stick or CD. All presentations will be downloaded on the existing computer in the meeting room.
• The presenting author must check in at the Manuscript Desk.
• All memory sticks or CDs MUST be given to the Session Chair or Conference Assistant for downloading at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session.
• At least 20% of your talk time should be reserved for questions. If your talk is 30 minutes, reserve 6 minutes for Q&A; if it is a 20 minute talk, reserve 4 minutes and for a 15 minute talk, reserve 3 minutes for Q&A.

Please think about whether or not other CAARI account holders can have the opportunity to view your presentation on the web site. Let us know when you check in at the Manuscript Desk.
