Here are guidelines for preparing your presentations. There will be a computer available for uploading copies of any presentations that you would like to make available to attendees, for them to download onto their own flash drives.

 
Paper Presentations:
1. Unless you submitted as a complete panel (with a discussant), a moderator will be on hand in each presentation room to help with the
time-keeping.

2. Most presentations are grouped as part of a panel (see the schedule for details). The maximum length of your presentation should be either 15 or 20 minutes, depending on the number of people scheduled to present at your session. We would like to reserve 15-30 minutes at the end of each symposium for audience participation and questions.

3. A laptop & LCD will be in each room; you should bring your presentation on a flash drive.

4. If you are bringing handouts, please bring between 30-50, depending on the size of the panel. Extra handouts may be placed on the CLASE table, which will be accessible throughout the three conference days.

Poster Sessions:
1. The poster display area will be in the Hill Atrium at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, just outside the main auditorium area.

2. Posters can be set up starting Monday morning, and *must* be taken down by Tuesday night, because another group is scheduled to use this area on Wednesday.

3. Bert Jimenez, a graduate assistant from CLASE, will be on site Monday morning at about 8 a.m. in the poster area if you have any questions or difficulties in set-up.

4. The poster boards are folding "walls" that are approximately 5 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide; each presenter will be able to use two adjacent panels, for a total display area of approximately 5x5 feet. Some thumbtacks will be on hand, or you may bring your own.

5. There is no access to power outlets from the poster area.

6. If you plan to have handouts as part of the poster session, you will need to bring a folder or some other way to display them, as there is not table space as part of the poster area.

7. Your particular poster board will not be pre-assigned, so you are welcome to select the spot on the folding walls for your poster, given the above guidelines.

8. We have scheduled some poster sessions for Monday, 2:45-3:45, and some for Tuesday, 2:45-3:45. However, if you are available, we encourage you to be at your poster during both of these time slots if possible. We also encourage you to have your poster up during the day on Monday and Tuesday so that participants can informally view them during our breaks.

Concurrent Paper Discussions/Roundtables:

1. These are scheduled for one hour (2:45-3:45 on Monday or Tuesday; see the schedule).

2. Location of these is in the auditorium (Masters Hall). A table card will be present indicating your table.

3. A moderator for this session will be present, and will encourage attendees to rotate to multiple round-table presenters.

4. Please bring copies of your paper or handouts (15-20). There is not power easily accessible, so if you wish to bring a laptop, it would need to operate from battery power. (Also, please don't plan to have speakers or sound, as that may cause a problem for other presenters.)
