Important Information to GIS-T Presenters
* What you need to know *
If you have any questions, or if you have any changes before April 9th, please contact Brian Logan (785-296-4899), Lou Henefeld (303-757-9809), or Mark Bradford(202-366-6810).
When you arrive at the conference hotel, please check in at the GIS-T conference information/registration desk as soon as possible. When you do, please let the registration staff know you are a presenter.
If there is a last minute speaker change, please inform the registration staff and your session moderator before your presentation.
Standard configuration for the Breakout Session rooms:
* Audience seating approximately 30+
* Podium
* Microphone and sound system
* Windows laptop (running Microsoft Office 2007, with PowerPoint)
* Projector with screen
* All laptops will have Internet access
If you require other equipment for your presentation (such as an easel, markers, etc.) let the staff at the registration desk know as soon as possible. Informing us that you need special equipment 5 minutes before your presentation will greatly decrease your chances of getting what you need.
Each session's moderator will have a thumbdrive for copying presentations. Presentations will be copied onto that thumbdrive and taken to the GIS-T staff for transferring to the conference website. If possible please assist the session moderator by copying your presentation to the correct directory on the thumbdrive. The directories will be labeled as breakout session numbers.
Session moderators will be vigilant in keeping each speaker on time. 30 minutes are allotted to each presentation. If a presentation concludes early, the next speaker will not be allowed to start until their prescribed time. This method is followed to allow conference attendees the opportunity to move from session to session without missing a desired presentation.
If you did not submit keywords electronically before the conference, we will ask you to provide them to your session moderator before or after your presentation.
Be sure to arrive at your Breakout Session room 5 to 10 minutes before your session starts and load your presentation onto the conference laptop, meet the session moderator and receive last minute instructions - if any. Also, if you are using an application as part of your presentation allow extra time to load it on the conference laptop, or make presentation adjustments (such as using your own laptop) with your moderator. This is the same for Internet applications. Make sure everything you are using in your presentation operates correctly before the session starts. There will be onsite tech support that will assist you if needed.
GIS-T does not have a template for presenters to follow or use in the creation of presentation slides. However, the following caveats may affect your presentation:
If you are using an application or interactive device other than, or in addition to, PowerPoint slides, please include summary PowerPoint slides of these in the presentation you submit to the moderator. The GIS-T web team will only accept PowerPoint slides which are converted to PDF for posting on the conference website of proceedings.
Many of your presentations will include graphics, images and photographs that while enhancing your presentation greatly increase the file size. If your presentation is over 7 MB in size, we ask that you also give the moderator a condensed version of your presentation that is less than 7 MB in size.
Submission DEADLINE: CLOSED
Presentation Submittal
Proposals are encouraged that deal with completed projects, including lessons learned. If your proposal is based on a planned or incomplete project, state this clearly. Presenters will be given 30 minutes that should include 5-10 minutes for questions. Submit your proposal as soon as possible through our electronic format. If you have any questions concerning the submissions contact Brian Logan
Panel Submittal
A panel proposal should include a description of the proposed panel topic, panel chairperson, and likely panel participants and abstract containing the content of the panel. Panels should address timely topics relevant to the theme of the conference. The panels will run in parallel with other sessions. They typically last 1.5 hours with 3-4 speakers. Submit panel proposals directly to Brian Logan
