What is an abstract?

An abstract is a concise statement that summarizes your presentation. An abstract should identify the objective or purpose of your work, the methods employed, and the outcomes or results of your work. It is highly recommended that you consult professional journal articles within your discipline to get a good idea of what is expected.

Presentation Modes

ORAL or STANDING: Oral presentations (talks) are traditionally the the most common mode of presentation. Oral presentations are limited to 15 minutes, including questions and answers. Each presentation sesion is 90 minutes in length. Presenters are required to attend the entire session to which they are assigned. All presentation rooms will be equipped with Windows platform computers equipped with PowerPoint, CD-ROM drive, and a LCD projector.
