Presenter Instructions

  1. Make sure you are registered for the conference! (As of this date all but a few presenters were registered.) Please email [email protected] if you need assistance.
  2. Your moderator has been encouraged to contact you, but if you have any questions about your presentation, you are encouraged to contact your moderator directly. Moderator contact info is included here in your presenter instructions.
  3. Confirm that your presentation conforms to the session time requirements. Except for Session 1A and 1B, each session will have a strict 45 minute duration and will allow time for introductions of presenters, the actual presentations and a question and answer period. Please plan on using all of the allotted 45 minutes and if there are limited questions, we encourage you to keep the audience engaged until the end of the session. Additionally, presentations running longer than 45 minutes will be stopped.
  4. Prepare any handouts. You may have handouts for attendees...it is strictly optional. Historically, attendance may range from 20 to over 80 and higher.
  5. Copy your presentation to a thumb drive, CD, or laptop that you can bring with you to the conference.

NOTE: All audio/visual is furnished. Each session room has a furnished laptop with a standard configuration of PowerPoint 2013, a screen, and a podium, with microphone, remote and laser pointer available. Important: If your presentation has any “bells and whistles” that might not run on a normal PowerPoint configuration you should bring your presentation on your own laptop as well as a CD or thumb drive. You can test your presentation on a furnished laptop with a standard PowerPoint configuration in the speaker ready room.

Prior to the Session:

  1. Come to the Registration Desk as soon as you arrive at the conference to pick up your nametag and/or register, and see that you have a “speaker” ribbon in your packet.
  2. Consider using the Speaker Ready Room to practice your presentation. The room location is across the street in “Sisters A” and thus takes some extra time to get to, so allow yourself enough time.

During the Session:

  1. Each session room has a furnished laptop with a standard configuration of PowerPoint 2013, a screen, and a podium, with microphone, remote and laser pointer available.
  2. Arrive early to your presentation so that your moderator can assist you in loading your presentation onto the furnished laptop. The moderator will also keep a copy of your presentation, which will be converted to PDF and posted on the PNCWA website after the conference.
