Guidelines for oral and poster presentations can be found below. Any questions should be directed to: abstracts@seismosoc.org
Oral Presentations:
Talk Time: Please check your email for your specific time and duration of your talk. Please plan your presentation so that there is three-to-five minutes for questions from the audience.
Slide Format: The following slide formats are acceptable: PowerPoint, Acrobat and Prezi. Not accepted: Keynote, OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
Equipment: All speakers will have access to a confidence monitor (a PC laptop), an LCD projector, a wireless remote and a laser pointer. You will not be able to use your own laptop for your presentation.
Media Files and Formatting: Please bring all media files (photos, audio clips, videos) with you when you upload your talk, even if you have embedded them in your talk. There are no limits on file sizes, either for the presentation or media files. The projectors use wide format (16×9). Your slides will appear in their entirety regardless of the screen’s aspect ratio. We suggest that you use the wide format, if your slides are 4:3 there will be black bars to either side of your slides.
Your Slides: Please bring your presentation on a flash drive to upload on site in Stanley Park Ballroom Salon #1. Technicians will be available as of 4 PM on Tuesday, 9 October in the ballroom to help you. Please be sure to upload your presentation at least two hours before your scheduled presentation.
Poster Presentations:
Poster Reminders: All poster boards are numbered and specific assignments were sent via email to presenters. We suggest that presenters post a notice with the specific time(s) they can be expected to be at the poster to discuss it.
