InformatIon for presenters

Presentation formats

Long presentations are 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for questions, and can be supported by a powerpoint presentation.

There are no restrictions regarding the number of presentation slides, but please be mindful of the fact that your talk will be interpreted, and that participants who are following your presentation in a sign language, in particular, may need some extra time to inspect your slides. We encourage all presenters to wait a few moments each time they transition to a new slide in their presentation.

Short presentations are 5 minutes, followed by time for one question per presentation.

Short presentations are elevator-pitch style talks that highlight the most important or interesting aspects of your study. Please do not try to cram the contents of a full-length presentation into 5 minutes, but take the opportunity to tell the FEAST audience in broad lines what your study is about, in order to invite further discussion with conference participants who share an interest in your research topic. The short presentation sessions are all scheduled directly before afternoon coffee breaks; we will create a space at the conference venue where conference participants can connect with presenters to discuss their work in more depth after the short presentation sessions.

Short presentations can be supported by a maximum of four presentation slides (excl. the title slide). In case you would like to make additional materials available to conference participants (e.g., a digital poster, a manuscript, video examples, …), you may include a QR-code on the final slide linking to these materials on, for instance, OSF or your university’s repository. It will not be possible to put up physical posters at the conference.

Instructions for uploading/sending presentation materials

We ask you to please email your presentation materials to feast.interpreting@gmail.com by 21 June.

Note that you can still update the final version of your presentation before the conference as long as there are no substantial changes to the content.

You can send your presentation slides as a .pdf or a .pptx file. If you send it as a pdf document and your presentation includes videos, please send the videos too, as separate files.

Please name your presentation slides according to the following naming format: [Day of the conference: 1/2/3]-[presentation format: keynote/long/short]-[First author name], so for instance “3-Long-Oomen.pdf”. For videos, use the same naming convention plus “video” followed by the number of the slide where the video is included, so for instance “3-Long-Oomen-video4.mp4”.
