Preparing Your Presentation

  • All presentations must include a disclosure slide that minimally states:​ "The presenters have no relevant financial relationships with any commercial interests to disclose" unless a conflict of interest was declared in the Disclosure Form and was cleared by APTR staff.​
  • There is no slide limit for oral presentations. A general guideline is one slide per minute of presentation time.
  • APTR suggests presenters set the PPT for Widescreen Format Show (16:9)
  • Fonts should be easy-to-read typeface, such as Helvetica, Arial, and Tahoma. Use of fonts not included in Windows can lead to words that bleed into graphics.
  • Accessibility best practices include using a white background, avoiding light lettering on a light background, and avoiding red or green text to be considerate of those who are color blind.​

FACILITATOR ROLE
  • A facilitator has been assigned to each session.
  • They will assist you with sharing your screen prior to the start of your session.
  • The facilitator will introduce the presentations, ensure the sessions are running on-time, and monitor the Q&A segment of your session.

ACCESS SESSION
  • Presenters will receive an email from Zoom containing a link to enter your session.
  • You will receive a unique email for each session you are presenting.
  • If you have difficulty locating the email(s) search for 'Zoom Panelist' or 'Zoom Meeting'.
  • Please ensure you have easy access to the email(s) from Zoom on the day of your session.
  • Sessions will be opened by the host 10 minutes prior to the start time to allow speakers to set up and be granted presenter and screen sharing permissions.

SESSION GUIDELINES
  • ​Each talk will be comprised of a presentation and subsequent, dedicated Q&A.
  • Refer to the Presentation Types for guidance on session timing to allow for adequate Q&A.
  • Each session will have a dedicated facilitator who will introduce speakers, manage times, and moderate Q&A.
  • You will not be allowed to run over your allotted time.
  • Time your presentation so that it does not overrun. It is important to practice especially if you will have multiple speakers.
  • As with a physical meeting, each session will proceed in the order identified in the program and maintain that schedule.​

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
  • In preparation, please download the test via the Zoom Test site (https://zoom.us/test) and test your webcam and audio. 
  • You will “Share” your slide presentation and/documents from your computer.
  • Ensure that your webcam is on so that attendees can view you during your presentation. 
  • Ensure your light source isn’t coming from behind you.
  • Optional: A Teaching Prevention 2022 Zoom Background will be provided below for use during your presentation. This feature works best with uniform lighting, to allow Zoom to detect the difference between you and your background.​ To change your background, you will need to:
    • Log in to Zoom
    • Click on the Up Arrow next to the camera in the bottom left corner
    • Select Virtual Background
    • Add/Choose background
​​UPLOAD HANDOUTS
  • Any handouts, URLs, or accompanying materials must be added to your session description on the meeting website. 
    Under ‘Session Info’ click on ‘Add Document’ to upload your handouts. You may upload two associated documents as handouts. You will also have an opportunity to add links to publications, news, and social media handles in your session link.
    Speakers are responsible for adding this content to their session description within the meeting platform, Whova.​


POSTER PRESENTATION
Posters and pre-recorded video presentations will be displayed for the entirety of the conference. There will not be a live poster session. Attendees will engage with Poster Presenters through the conference platform, Whova. We ask that you respond to attendees within the ‘Chat’ feature the same day questions or comments are received. 
​
 PRESENTER RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Posters and accompanying videos and handouts will be displayed for the entirety of the conference on the meeting platform.
  • Conference attendees will have the option to send written questions/comments to poster presenters throughout the conference through the conference app chat function and poster presenters can respond at any time they choose, but at least daily. 

Poster Presentation and Display - Due no later than March 23, 2022
Your Poster Presentation format will include two (2) components:

Video Presentation
  • Presenters will submit a brief recorded video (3-5 minutes) prior to the conference that provides an overview of the poster topic and results. Be creative!  Videos can include footage or photos of the project, collaborators, or other engaging content. You may record yourself and co-presenters or record voice-over portions of your poster. 
  • Presenters must provide a link to the location of the hosted video using one of the preferred video hosting partners: Youtube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, SlidesLive. Please upload the link using the form above.
    ​
Poster Display
  • Presenters will upload a poster in PDF format (max 10 MB). Posters should be designed in “landscape” orientation.
  • Presenters may upload up to two (2) accompanying documents for attendees to view and download.
  • You must upload your poster PDF first prior to additional handouts. 
  • You will also have an opportunity to add links to publications, news, and social media handles in your session link.
  • You must submit a brief description of your poster.

DIGITAL POSTERS FORMAT
  • The poster title on your finalized poster should be the same as the title in the conference program.
  • Poster authors should be listed at the top.
  • Material should be displayed in logical sequence (i.e., introduction, background, objectives, research design/program description, results/evaluation, and conclusion).
  • Graphics (i.e. graphs/charts, photos) are encouraged.
  • No commercial activities or any advertising may be displayed on the posters. Non-compliance with this rule will result in the poster being removed from the conference program.​

STUDENT POSTER AWARDS
These awards are given to the three best student posters presented at the conference. 
It rewards a combination of excellent research, innovation, and presentation.  A panel of faculty judges will review posters during the poster session. Poster winners will be announced and will receive a certificate.  

Speaker Tips​

Audio: If you prefer a headset or headphones with a microphone to a standalone microphone, make sure to test out the compatibility with your computer either with blue-tooth or plug-in headphones.
  • Zoom allows you to test out your audio by starting a meeting on your own and clicking the up arrow on the mute button. Please choose “Test Speaker & Microphone” and follow the prompts.

Video: Below are a few helpful tips for a virtual presentation to keep the audience focused and engaged.
  • To facilitate optimal eye contact during your presentation, try placing your laptop on a stack of hardcover books to make sure the webcam or built-in computer camera is at eye level.
  • Using Zoom will allow you to choose simple and non-distracting backgrounds. APTR will provide you a simple background image with the APTR or conference logo on it (optional). Other simple background options to keep the focus on you include a blank wall, an organized bookshelf, or subtle artwork in your home or place of work.  
  • Plenty of lighting for your presentation, natural or artificial, is recommended.
    • An available sunny room is always a good choice. If you can, please avoid sitting with your back to the window because exposed light will make it hard for the audience to see you.
    • One steady lamp by your face for even lighting is also a good choice. More specifically, LED lighting which produces more video-friendly color temperature and does not put off much heat. 

Preparing Materials: You are expected to share a PowerPoint or other slide presentation format during your talk. If you plan to share additional visuals, videos, webpages, etc., please integrate this content into your slide presentation or have these windows open prior to your presentation.
  • APTR provided a Disclosure Statement that is required in your second slide.
  • Videos should ideally be downloaded to your hard drive rather than played from the internet.
  • If you plan on creating a poll, please refer to this link from the Zoom help center: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/203749865-Polling-for-webinars.
  • If you have notes for your presentation, it is better to place sticky notes below or next to your webcam or use a sticky note feature on your computer so that you can maintain quality eye contact with your audience.
  • Make it clear if you would like the audience to post questions in the Q&A or chat box during the presentation or save questions for the end of the presentation by raising a hand to be called on by you or the session facilitator.
  • You are welcome to add PDF handouts and URL links to resources in your session description in Whova.

You are asked to submit your slide presentation to APTR by March 23. Session facilitators will also have a copy of your slide presentation saved on their computer in case you have technical difficulties and need someone else to share the slides (i.e., loss of Wi-Fi and you have to call in to present). For additional guidance on preparing for your presentation, please review this helpful resource link How to Prep for Speaking at a Virtual Conference.
