Presenter Information - ACCI Annual Conference 2024

If you are presenting an Concurrent Oral Session:

  • These are the traditional oral sessions as in past ACCI conferences. There are multiple presentations during each 90-minute period.
  • There are three rooms with presentations taking place concurrently.
  • Each room has a moderator who will keep you on time.
    • NEW THIS YEAR: Each presenter must send their presentation to the moderator by May 19. The moderator will provide their own computer for presentation. A projector will be provided in each room with a HDMI cable to attach to the computer. In case the moderator’s computer does not work with a HDMI cable, they may communicate with the presenters in the session before the conference for a personal computer that works with an HDMI cable as an alternative.
    • Please arrive 15 minutes in advance to test the computer AV and ensure all presenters and presentations are ready. (Note: presenters and moderators are expected to go directly to their rooms to set up.)
    • We recommend we bring your presentation on a thumb drive as a backup. Do not have your presentation on the internet or cloud based.
  • About ten (10) minutes is reserved at the end of each 90 minutes for discussion across all presentations. Please don't ask for questions at the end of your time, as it may decrease the presentation time for subsequent presenters. The moderator will manage the discussion.
    • If there are three presentations during the 90 minutes minus 5 minutes for the Moderator to welcome and introduce, minus another 10 minutes for discussion at the very end of all oral presentations, that allows 75 minutes or 25 minutes for each of the three presentations.
    • If there are two presentations during the 90 minutes this allows about 35 minutes for each of the two presentations.
  • Breakout rooms will not have microphones or the capacity to play video or sound.
  • It is required that you use our template for your presentation slides here.

If you are presenting a Featured Research Poster Session:

  • Previews! You will have one minute (60-seconds) to give a brief description of your poster at a general session. Please prepare this short introduction ahead of time and practice it so that you can actually do this in 60-seconds. Start with I am (your name) and I am from (organization/institution). Do NOT list all authors at this time. State your poster title. Describe what it is about. We will time you! You will line up in poster number order. Look for the time you will present your 60-second overview in the conference schedule event app.
  • What size is the poster board? The Boards are 4 ft x 8 ft and this year you may use the whole space.
  • There is only 1 poster session this year. Poster boards will have numbers on them, in sequential order, so that other attendees can find your poster easily. Only put your poster up on the board that has your assigned number!
  • Present your one-minute preview at the General Session 2 on Wednesday, May 22. Please sit up front. You will present your 60-second preview in poster number order. Your poster session, Conversation and Libation, is from 5:15 pm - 6:15 pm on Wednesday, May 22, and you are expected to stand by your poster during that time and discuss it with other attendees. Take down your poster immediately at the end of the session. Food, beer, and wine are featured during this special poster session.
  • The poster may be a maximum 4 feet high (1.22 m) by 8 feet wide (2.44 m) as this is the dimension of the board on which you will hang your poster.
  • We will provide Velcro or pins to put up your poster up.
  • As there will not be electricity or a table space, please do not bring a computer. Tablets are okay, but the focus and main points should be on your poster. If you want to provide a URL to your webpage or research, print it on a business card that you can hand out.
  • It is a very good idea to bring your business cards with you and to have them easy to reach and share.
  • It is required that you use our poster template here that already contains the right sized logo.
  • It is suggested that you hand-carry your poster with you to the conference.
  • This is a sample of what the poster board will look like:
