Info for Presenters
Preparing Your Presentation
You may prepare your presentation in a way that best represents your research.
- A traditional research presentation could be a series of slides or a single slide of your poster (it may work best to zoom in to sections, charts, and graphs for best readability).
- For Oral, Creative, Performance, or Non-Traditional Presentations, you can prepare a series of slides, a video, recorded performance, or another form of digital presentation (video file preferred) between 4-6 minutes in length.
- Abstracts should be concise, no longer than 250 words.
Poster Design Tips and Templates
Designing a traditional poster is not required, however, if you choose to, we have a page of poster design templates, tips, and examples.
