FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS/CHECKLIST FOR MODERATORS:
**Deadlines are noted in red**
Moderator Roles & Responsibilities
-
A few
weeks prior to the conference, you will receive a packet
containing the biographies, contact info. and abstracts of
the speakers in your session.
-
Your
primary role is to introduce each speaker
and keep the presentations on schedule. Presentations are
to be no longer than 20-25 minutes,
including questions, which will leave you 5 minutes for
transition/introduction of the next speaker (talks are
scheduled on the ½ hour).
-
A
laptop, LCD
projector and microphones
will be provided in each room. Most presenters will be
using Microsoft PowerPoint (LCD Projector).
The Conference Coordinator as well as the AV staff will be
available to assist you, however, please familiarize
yourself with the AV equipment upon arrival.
-
A laptop is provided in each
session room. Presentations must be loaded onto the
laptop prior to the session. We encourage you to
contact your speakers ahead of time
to coordinate this. A simple email correspondence
indicating they should meet you in the session room one
half hour prior to the session start has worked well in
the past.
- We also
ask that you bring any work you feel would be appropriate
to present in the event a speaker does not show up to the
session (i.e. “canned presentation”)
