Individuals giving an oral presentation in Louisville are required to upload their slide deck (pptx) as well as a recorded version (MP4) of their presentation that will be available to all conference participants after the conference. The recorded version is a critical component and allow those who could not attend your live presentation to have access to all the science content at TWS2023. Please review the following instructions for preparing your talk. As a reminder, talks should be 12 minutes in length, with the remaining 3 minutes for questions.
Slide decks (PPTx files only) must be uploaded no later than 4 hours before the start of you session via a link that will be emailed to you in September (and again after that). Slide decks should be prepared in wide format (16:9). You can also use the link referenced above to make updates from any computer. There will be a speaker support kiosk near registration with a limited number of computers available, in case you need assistance. We also recommend bringing a flash drive with your presentation files.
