Workshop Presentation Set-Up

We would like to do everything we can in order to help you prepare for your upcoming workshop presentation.

• There will be a projector and computer available for your use at your discretion.
• Please provide your own iPad/iPod if you you would like that to display on-screen.
• Please let us know you you envision your workshop so that we may do everything we can to accommodate your request.
• If you would like to share your work to a broad audience, we will be available to film your workshop presentation during the conference in a separate studio.

Your Workshop Presentation

• Your presentation will be approximately 90 minutes in length. Please remember this is a Workshop session. Audience interaction is extremely important. Please plan for time to interact with your audience. Plan for fun ways to engage your audience in your presentation.
• Please note that due to scheduling, we must insist that speakers do not exceed their allotted time. Unfortunately, there can be no exceptions with regard to the time allotted for the duration of your presentation.
• Please save any slides necessary for your workshop as a PowerPoint or Keynote presentation on a USB flash drive. Presentations will be loaded from an Apple Mac Pro laptop computer for digital projection.
• If you are using any video or sound clips in your presentation, please include the original file alongside your presentation on your USB flash drive.
• If necessary, you may use your own laptop. However, please arrive early to ensure that we are able to connect your laptop to the plasma display.
• We kindly request that you arrive at your designated classroom at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time of your session.
• During this time, you will upload your slides to the Medicine X conference computers and introduce yourself to the technician. This time also allows us to rearrange the schedule, if necessary, to account for unavoidable conflicts.
