TIPS ON VIRTUAL presentations

Final presentations are due July 9. 

If you haven’t had an opportunity to present virtually yet, be assured that you will be provided with instructions on how to prepare and submit your presentations no later than May 14, 2021. 

Here are some tips: 

• There are very simple tools to use to record your presentation that are as easy as recording a voice track for your slides in PowerPoint. 
• The presentations can be longer or shorter than in-person presentations because the attendees watch at their own pace, without the in-person scheduling constraints. 
• Poster presentations aren’t limited to 1 sheet like they are in person since we are posting them online.  
• If you are concerned about what you need to do to present in the virtual environment, the program team has experience with the virtual presentations and will do whatever we can to make it an easy and enjoyable experience.
