Presentation Tips
Oral session presenters may visit the conference room each day to familiarize themselves with the equipment in the room or ask a technician any questions.
Please discuss the material as reported in your submitted and approved abstract.
Prepare your presentation in advance so that your ideas are logically organized and your points are clear.
Take time to rehearse your presentation. If your presentation runs longer than the allotted time, eliminate the least essential material and rehearse again. We will be strict on time.
Give an opening statement to acquaint the audience with the nature and purpose of the study. Speak slowly and clearly. Word choice should be simple: use active words and short sentences.
Use the microphone and speak toward the audience.
