For Authors and Presenters

For Platform Presenters

• Computers are NOT provided for your presentation. You must bring or arrange for your own computer for your presentation. Both Mac and PC formats are supported.
• The default ratio for projectors at M&M meetings is 16:9 (high definition). Please plan your slides accordingly. A 4:3 ratio will work; however, there will be black vertical bars on either side of your projected image.
• Both HDMI and VGA cables will be provided. We recommend HDMI for HD projectors.
• If you don't have a computer to bring, ask your symposium organizer or session chair if you can use another presenter's machine.
• If you bring a computer, please make sure that you have administrative access and know the password.
• If possible, we suggest bringing your presentation on a flash drive and/or storing it online so that you have access to it in case your computer has technical problems.

For Poster Presenters

Poster presenters will be assigned to a specific presentation day. NEW for 2024: All posters should be installed on Monday and remain up until Thursday afternoon at 2 PM. 

 PLEASE NOTE:

• No A-V equipment will be provided for ANY poster presentations.
• Poster presenters must remain at their poster on their assigned day during the required hours.
• Each poster will be allocated a 92" wide x 45" high display area (see image below). Please note that your poster can be any size that best displays your work, as long as it fits in this display area.
• Authors must provide their own velcro hooks or push pins for mounting.
• A (suggested) 8-12-in. high strip at the top of your poster should contain the title of the paper and the name and affiliation of the author(s).
• The poster should have large legible text and figures, and describe the results in a manner that would be clear to a reader in the author's absence.
• Stereo images may be mounted and presented for stereo viewing using viewers provided by the author.
