Regular oral presentations, as well as dissertation oral presentations, are generally arranged by topic. For a regular oral presentation, allow 7 minutes for the prerecorded talk. For a dissertation oral presentation, allow 12 minutes for the prerecorded talk. Please note that captioning will be added to all live and pre-recorded oral presentations. In order to process the videos, all recordings will be due 9 September.
Regular, history, and education iPosters allow far more time and flexibility than the corresponding oral presentations. iPosters are arranged by topic and are created online using easy-to-use, web-based templates. Your iPoster will be displayed in the iPoster Gallery and will be downloadable to smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers during the meeting and for at least one year after it concludes. You can add as much text, media content and recorded narration as you need to present your research with all the detail it deserves. iPoster presenters will be scheduled in a session and there will also be Slack Chat available for additional discussions. While iPosters must be “published” by 9 September in order to be included in the Gathertown session, the contents can be edited until the beginning of the meeting.
Types of Discussion Sessions
All presenters are expected to participate in asynchronous discussion via slack.
Live Q&A
Live sessions (e.g. on zoom) will require presenters to prepare a summary slide ahead of time and give a lightning talk at the beginning of the session, then will participate in a live question and answer session moderated by the session chair.
Gathertown
Participating in Gathertown will require presenters to make a poster, even if their primary presentation mode is a pre-recorded oral talk. There will be dedicated time to browse the Gathertown halls.
Note presenters can choose any combination of discussion formats (slack/live/Gathertown), regardless of presentation format (oral/iPoster).
