Tips for Presenters
Tips for Presenters
Presentations should be 10 minutes maximum
Expect to present to an audience outside of your discipline. Sessions are not organized by discipline, as presenters choose their own presentation timeslots based on their availability.
Written feedback from Active Listeners is not guaranteed. Be sure to take time to chat with your assigned Active Listeners on the day of the event. Any written feedback submitted to us will be sent out via email about two weeks after the event.
Visit the Active Listeners page to see what they will be looking for in presentations.
