Oral Presentation Guidelines

To ensure a smooth process onsite we would like to remind you of the following:

• Invited Oral Presentations: 40 minutes total, including the 10 minute question and answer time.

Audio-Visual Setup:
The conference room will be set up with a screen, microphone, LCD projector, and laptop (PC). SIMS 23 2022 will provide a laptop (PC) in the session room. If you are using the SIMS 23 2022 provided computer, please load your presentation on to this computer prior to the start of the session or during a session break. In deference to all our presenters, it is important that personal computer/LCD projector compatibility issues be worked out well in advance of your presentation. Please note that PowerPoint (16:9) is the recommended presentation software. The projector is expected to be compatible with both PC’s and MAC’s; however, we ask that you bring a copy of your presentation on a flash drive as a back-up.
