Special Session - ECHT

This year we have a special session for undergraduate/graduate/post doctoral students in the early stages of their careers. The session is titled: "Early Career Hot Topics". The session allows this researcher to give an oral talk in their area of interest instead of a poster presentation. This is an opportunity for early researchers to showcase their work to a broader audience.
 

Guidelines for Oral Presenters

If you are giving an oral presentation, these guidelines will be helpful.

• The presenting author must check in at the Manuscript Desk.
• All memory sticks or CDs MUST be given to the Session Chair or Conference Assistant for downloading at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session.
• At least 20% of your talk time should be reserved for questions. If your talk is 30 minutes, reserve 6 minutes for Q&A; if it is a 20 minute talk, reserve 4 minutes and for a 15 minute talk, reserve 3 minutes for Q&A.

Please think about whether or not other CAARI account holders can have the opportunity to view your presentation on the web site. Let us know when you check in at the Manuscript Desk.
