What is the Format?
All presenters prepare a high-quality oral presentation accompanied by a MicroSoft PowerPoint slide deck. NOTE: Wifi /Internet will NOT be guaranteed. We ask that you do not incorporate components into your slide deck that need Wifi/Internet connection.
When and How To Submit My Slides?
We unfortunately cannot upload speaker presentations onsite since our program is the fullest yet with minimum transition time, and we're a small organizing team. So, we ask that all speakers upload their final PowerPoint presentation (e.g. .ppt or .pptx) to this secure Dropbox folder below no later than May 26th.
