Instructions for Oral Presentations

For Oral Presentations

  • Arrive in the room ten mniutes before the session begins.
  • Find the convener and introduce yourself. 
  • If using technology, copy your presentation file from the disc (CD, flash drive, memory stick, etc.) to the desk top of the computer in the room. Just before your talk open the file from PowerPoint.
  • Make sure the convener can pronounce your name and the title of your talk. This makes more sense than you might think.  The convener is not necessarily in the same discipline as your presentation.
