Information for Presenters

Information for speakers

If you plan on providing handouts for your talk, please make sure you leave them at the registration desk during the break before your session.

You should plan on having at least 70 copies of the handout if the talk is during one of the parallel sessions, and 100 copies if presenting during a single session. Photocopying services will be available in campus and in the Urbana-Champaign area during the conference, but we strongly encourage you to come to the conference with the copies already made.

All sessions will be held on the third floor or the Reading Room (first floor) at the Levis Faculty Center. Both rooms will be equipped with a microphone, an overhead projector, a laptop computer hooked to a data projector, and loudspeakers for presentation of audio material. The laptops will be PCs equipped with Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 and Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.

If you plan on using the data projector, please let us know at the registration desk when you come to the conference.

Information for posters

Posters will be attached to panels using T-pins (a kind of pushpin), which we will provide for you. These panels are 4 feet wide and 6 feet high and will be standing on the floor. Posters can be of any size and layout, as long as they fit in these 4x6 panels.

The two poster sessions will be held On October 13 and October 14 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. They will be held on the third floor of the Levis Faculty center, wich is the same room where most of the conference talks will be held.

In order to avoid any delays, the posters should be attached to the panels during the lunch break on the day when the poster is presented, between 1pm and 2:30pm.
