21 of 23 Guidelines for Presenters Check-List

In order to encourage interdisciplinary discussion among conference participants and audience members, presenters should note the following guidelines:

 All sessions are 80-minute long. The duration of presentations is 15 minutes. Multiple discussants should divide this allotted time among themselves. Going over the time limit only prevents further discussion and is disrespectful to the other presenters and the audience.  Presenters should not expect to read their papers in full. Instead presenters are encouraged to talk about their work and describe it, with the aim of encouraging audience members to have a discussion with the presenter.  To ensure that everyone gets the most from the conference, the presentation schedule will be strictly enforced by each Session Chair. Session chairs are encouraged to be strict with time.  Following the last presentation, Session chairs will facilitate a discussion/ Q&A with all presenters and the audience.  Presenters should usually avoid telling the audience too much biographical information - this cuts into the time allotted to the presentation and the content of the paper. Also, it is understood that presentations are based upon larger works. It is therefore unnecessary for presenters to inform the audience of how diffcult it is to condense ideas into 15 minutes. There are many opportunities for authors to talk about their work after the session with interested individuals.  It is often helpful for presenters to have hard copies of their papers available to distribute to interested audience members.  Presenters are asked to verify that all necessary presentation materials are in place and tested in their presentation venue, well before the session begins. Presenters are requested to fnd an opportunity in advance of the presentation to familiarize themselves with the venue and podium environment. Staff members will be available to help throughout the conference.  A PC will be available in each room, at the conference venue, for speakers’ use during their presentations. Internet connection, speakers system, and VGA/HDMI will be available. But be reminded: technology should enhance a presentation, not be the presentation.  Finally, let’s keep building an inclusive, diverse, and equitable intellectual community*, recognizing the value of discourse and dialogue, to serve as a source of knowledgeable energy and encouragement for future research connections!

* Participants in all MEA activities, including the MEA Annual Convention, assent to and agree to abide by the MEA Statement for Inclusivity and Guidelines of Conduct.
