TALK GUIDELINES
POSTER GUIDELINES
- A total of 10 minutes will be allotted to each oral presentation with 5 additional minutes for questions and transition between talks.
- On the day of the conference, presenters will deliver their talk live and will have the ability to share their screen for their presentation. Two moderators will help facilitate introductions and a live Q&A.
- Presenters must submit a copy of their presentation to a conference facilitator by March 11, 2021 to serve as a back-up copy in the case of technical difficulties.
- Presenters are required to attend a tech-check and conference preparation session before the conference day.
POSTER GUIDELINES
- Poster presentations must fit onto one PDF page. We encourage poster presenters to keep in mind readability of a poster while screen-sharing during the poster session. As such, we recommend using more graphics, fewer words, and large font size.
- On the day of the conference, each poster presenter will have their own Gatherly booth (with the exception of NRCA participants who will share with other NRCA poster presenters). Poster presenters will be grouped on a Gatherly floor based on topic. In the poster booth, each presenter will have the ability to share their poster via screen-sharing. We strongly encourage that poster presenters prepare a one-minute elevator pitch of their presentation to deliver to conference attendees joining their Gatherly booth.
- Poster presenters must submit a PDF copy of their poster presentation to a conference facilitator by March 11, 2021. Poster PDFs will be made available on the conference website the weekend before the conference to allow attendees time to review posters before the poster session on the day of the conference.
- Poster presenters will receive instructions on how to join their Gatherly booth and Gatherly functions a week before the conference day.
