Presenter Instructions (Oral and Poster)

 

Oral Presentations:  

All oral presentations (individual paper presentations, panel presentations, and symposia) will be held at the Marshall University Memorial Student Union on Friday, April 13th, 2007. You will be given the precise time for your presentation when your submission is officially accepted.

When you arrive at the conference on the morning of the presentation, go to the registration table. There you will be able to pick up your badges, programs, and other information.

Individual paper presentations should be planned to last about 15 minutes, no longer than 17 minutes.

Panel presentations symposia (group presentations in which each participate offers an individual paper in the same general topic area) should be planned to last about 45 minutes total.

A copy of your abstract (as submitted with your original proposal) will appear in the conference program. If you wish to make any changes or alterations to that abstract, Dr. Mulder must receive a corrected copy, sent electronically, no later than noon on April 6, 2007.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO USE POWER POINT, YOU WILL NEED TO EMAIL YOUR SLIDES IN POWER POINT AND IN THE ORDER THAT YOU WISH TO USE THEM TO DR. MULDER (mulder@marshall.edu) - NO LATER THAN MONDAY, APRIL 6, 2007.  We will then have all the power point presentations pre-loaded on the computer and ready for your use.  Feel free to bring your own back up if possible.

It is often a good idea to prepare brief handouts (in advance), showing your name, school, faculty sponsor, and a brief description of your project; you should have copies of this handout to give to people who show an interest in your paper topic. (This is a good way to connect with faculty from other schools and to let other professionals in psychology know who you are).

You must register to attend the conference.

 

                    Poster Presentations: 

The poster session will be held at the Marshall University Memorial Student Union from 9am until 11:30am on Friday, April 13th, 2007. You may begin setting up as early as 7:30am, and should plan on being ready to receive "guests" by 8:45am.

When you arrive at the conference on the morning of the poster presentation, go to the registration table. There you will be able to pick up your badges, programs, and information sheets telling you exactly where to set up your poster (room and space number).

All posters must be stand-alone; they should be sturdy enough to stand on a table. No wall space will be available for hanging flat posters.

Your poster should be no more than 3' wide and 3' in height. All materials that you use must fit into a 3’X3’ table top area. At least one presenter should remain with each poster at all times. If you are the only presenter, then you will need to try to stay will your poster as much as possible. There will be slow periods during which you can walk around and view the other posters, take a brief break, etc.

A copy of your abstract (as submitted with your original proposal) will appear in the conference program. If you wish to make any changes or alterations to that abstract, Dr. Mulder must receive a corrected copy, sent electronically, no later than noon on April 6th.
