A reminder for those giving papers:
The point of giving a talk is as much about the questions and the conversation that arise during the Q&A period, as it is about the paper itself. Because of this, you are asked to stick closely to your allotted paper-giving time of 20 minutes (or 15 minutes in some cases). A 20-minute paper is generally a 10-page, 12-point-font typescript. Please be courteous to your fellow panelists and come prepared to give a paper of the prescribed length. Panel Chairs will be instructed (with, of course, a couple of minutes' grace) to keep their panelists to time. We would all like to hear your conclusions, but will be robbed of the pleasure if you have been dragged off the podium by your Chair.
For those using A/V:There is standard A/V provision at the Jepson Alumni Center that meets routine conference needs – for example, PowerPoint presentations. If you have particular questions or requests, please contact Conference Lt.-Director Steven Isaac. Please keep in mind that we will also have online participants, so those using technology should be ready to share screens.
Handouts:
You will need to bring copies of any handout with you to the conference. Sixty copies should suffice.
