Instructions for Presenters

Your contributions to fusion engineering reflect years of hard work and dedication.  Please see below for instructions/specifications to ensure that your presentation goes smoothly.

ORAL PRESENTERS

• Use 16:9 aspect ratio for your slides and save your presentation in PowerPoint (*.pptx) or export as a PDF. 

• Have your slides on a USB thumb drive and arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the start of the session so you can load your presentation on a computer (Mac laptop) that is identical to those.  

• Presenters will not be able to use their own computers. They should hand their USB sticks to a member of the A/V staff so they can load them onto the room's computer. 

• There is a "speaker ready room" on the bottom floor of Kresge with an identical laptop and projector for testing of presentations/videos. Follow the signs past Little Kresge to find the speaker room. 

• Plenary talks are 50 minutes + 10 minutes for questions.

• Invited talks are 25 minutes + 5 minutes for questions.

• Contributed talks are 17 minutes + 3 minutes for questions.

POSTER PRESENTERS
