Information for Presenters

Each speaker will have 7 minutes for a presentation, followed by 3 minutes for questions and 2 minutes for speaker changeover. Student members of the NOWCAM organizing committee or local students, will serve as session chairs and will assist speakers with setup and notify them of the remaining time in their talks during the session. We encourage folks to practice the structure and timing of their presentation in advance with their supervisor or lab mates.

A Mac laptop will be provided for presenters to load their talks onto the laptop (LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_NOWCAM2026) during a break or before the start of the day (e.g., during setup). Though we prefer using a single computer, presenters who strongly prefer a PC or their own device are welcome to bring it. Prior to the talk, the slides should be queued along with the required dongle to connect to the presenter setup. Given the tight timing of the conference, there will be little time to troubleshoot on the fly.

Poster panels are 4′ x 8′ and will be presented horizontally so you could consider a printed poster size of 3′ by 4′. Thumbtacks will be provided. Posters will be numbered and your poster number can be found in the poster session abstracts section of this program. Minimize text, emphasis main points.

At NOWCAM students are given priority when it comes to asking questions (see 1-page tip sheet on asking questions).
