Speaker Guidelines
Important Note about Social Media- Members of the SOC or other organizing committee members may be taking pictures and making posts about certain presentations and oral sessions throughout the event. If any individual speaker or presenter does not wish their work or talk to be talked about or reported on via social media, it is within the responsibility of the speaker or presenter to make such a request prior to or at the beginning of their presentation/oral session.
Speaker Guidelines —
Oral presentations are scheduled for 10 minutes per talk. We will give you a 2-minute warning 8 minutes into your talk. At the end of each oral session, there will be a 10-minute Q&A session to address any questions from the audience. Speakers are required to upload their slides by 08/14/23 at 11:59 pm CT.
Poster presenters can choose to give an optional lightning talk, up to 1 minute total, including transition to the next speaker. The slide will auto-advance after 1 minute. Lightning talks are limited to a single slide, and speakers are required to upload their slides by 08/14/23 at 11:59 pm CT.
