Speaker Information
Concurrent Sessions
All concurrent sessions will be 90 minutes in length (concurrent session B with all individual presentations will run an extra 10 minutes). Each room will have a microphone, projector, and laptop. If you require a specific setup for your presentation, please let us know. Moderators will be tasked with keeping their session on time and student volunteers will be in each room to help with any tech issues and take notes.
Individual Oral, Panel and Roundtable Session Presenters are asked to prepare their presentation with the following information in mind.
Individual oral presentations will receive 20 minutes each which includes a brief, one minute introduction by the moderator. Thus, plan on 15 minutes for the actual presentation and four minutes for questions. It may be that you will not meet your moderator in advance. If so, plan to arrive a few minutes prior to the published start time and introduce yourself.
Panel and Roundtable discussions will have 90 minutes each which includes a brief introduction by the moderator. If you are in need of a moderator for your session, please reach out to NWWN2022@gmail.com.

For those making presentations, we are requiring all be made with PowerPoint. If there are any concerns with this, please email.
- Presenters must email their presentation by July 15th to NWWN2022@gmail.com. If you would like to, you can bring a copy of your presentation on a USB as a back-up.
- Please let us know if your presentation will have any sound or videos or require Internet access.
- Your presentation will be uploaded in advance of your session to facilitate a smooth transition from one speaker to the next.
- Please check in with registration upon your arrival to view the presentation.
- Please check the following on your PowerPoint file: Disable any automatic advance timer. Embed graphs or figures into the document as independent objects (do not dynamically link from other programs). Compress photos to prevent slow loading and slide advancement delays during the presentation.
We strongly encourage you to use the laptop offered by the symposium to avoid equipment compatibility challenges. If you absolutely must use your own laptop, contact NWWN2022@gmail.com immediately. You will need to bring all cables and test your laptop 24-hours prior to your session to avoid disruption to the session.
