We are so looking forward to seeing you present your work in Santa Fe, NM March 6-9, 2025. If you haven’t already done so, you can see the time, date, and location of your presentation at our online agenda accessible via this link. We have a few reminders and tips for you as you prepare.
Our conference rooms have projectors, but you will need to bring a laptop with you to plug into the projector. The projectors have HDMI connectors, be sure to bring any adapters you will need in order to connect to your laptop via HDMI.
There are no amplified speakers on the projectors, so if you are planning to play a video or play other audio for your presentation, you will need to bring a speaker that connects to your laptop.
You may want to bring a handout with your key points and discussion prompts to distribute to the individuals who select to sit at your discussion table. Discussion leaders typically start the conversation off by sharing key information, posing discussion questions, and facilitating the dialogue. Because there will be multiple structured discussions occurring concurrently in this space, you will not be able to utilize multimedia aids (e.g., PowerPoint, audio, etc). We hope that this roundtable format will lead to rich dialogue.
We will be supplying foam boards on tables that you will hang your poster from. The maximum size is 3’ x 4’
Please ensure that you use a minimum 24-point font on your poster so that your text is accessible to audience members.
We highly recommend providing a QR code or other online link instead of printing handouts in order to be more eco friendly.
