Presentation Guidelines

·   Presentations should be done in PowerPoint. Any presentations done in Apple’s Keynote will need to be converted into a PDF in order for it to be used in a presentation. No overhead projectors will be available.

·   Speakers should plan to speak no longer than 15 minutes to allow time for questions from the audience and other panel members as well as discussion of topics covered by the panel.

·   Speakers must submit their PowerPoint presentations to the Speaker Ready Room (Imperial Room) at least 2 hours in advance of their Breakout Session.

·   Speakers should arrive at the Breakout Session room no later than ten minutes before the Session starts to get acquainted with the technology, make sure the presentation is loaded, meet the other speakers, and resolve any last-minute issues. Each room will have a Track Host who will be available to assist as needed.

·   Please be advised that all presentations will be posted on a secure website for attendees after the conference. If you wish to have your presentations excluded from the proceedings, please contact pacrim@bio.org with that request by December 4, 2014.

The posters are *landscape* oriented and 4 ft high x 8 ft wide (120 cm x 240 cm). Your display may be smaller than this, but it cannot exceed this size limit as you will interfere with your fellow presenters’ presentations.
