Info for presenters

Speakers

Keynote talks will be conducted via Zoom integrated in the Gather Town. If you are a workshop speaker, or ECR talk speaker your talks will be within Gather Town. You will be able to stand on a spotlight square and share your screen to the whole room of participants. This means you can use powerpoint, pdf, or anything you would like to share via your computer screen.

Screen sharing is simple. Go inside a spotlight square and you will receive a message that you can now broadcast to the whole room.

You can now click the screenshare button (circled in red) and everyone in the room will see your screen. Just like in Zoom you can choose to share Screen 1 or 2, an application window or a Chrome tab.

Check out the schedule for ECR talks and workshops.

During the poster session

Make sure to check the Poster Schedule to find the location and time of your poster presentation. There are 6 poster rooms in total, but only 2 will be open per day for attendees to view the posters. On your allocated timeslot, you should head to your poster which will be labelled with your Poster ID number. Then, you will be able to present your poster to participants in your poster space. Like you, they can press the “x” key to enter full screen viewing of your poster. While presenting, stand in front of the poster on the orange square. There may be up to 8 attendees in front of a poster, who can ask questions to you directly. You will all be able to see each other on video and talk.
