Tips for people planning to present at Forum meetings
|
|
|
- Most presentations run 15-30 minutes. If you expect your presentation to go longer, or to generate a lot of discussion, please let the organizers know, so that we can schedule accordingly.
- We are pretty flexible about scheduling. If you have constraints (like you need to leave early for the airport), please let the organizers know and we can adjust the order or presentations to suit.
- We try very hard to make the meeting accessible to remote participants. The tools we use are a teleconference and a web-based sharing tool called MeetingPlace.
- We provide a Windows laptop, setup with MeetingPlace. We ask that if at all possible, you use this computer to give your presentation. We have memory sticks, etc. to move presentations around.
- PowerPoint, PDF, and web browsers are the presentation tools we can usually support.
- Live demonstrations can be shared if MeetingPlace can originate sharing on your system. Generally, this means Windows. We've had varying reports as to whether Macs can originate MP sessions. Linux systems cannot.
- Being unable to share your presentation/demonstration through MeetingPlace is not a show-stopper, however. If there is no other way, the remote participants will have to just listen to the talk.
- Fancy transitions and animations that aren't relevant to the content of the presentation are discouraged. For remote participants they tend to be annoyingly slow rather than cute.
- We normally publish CCA Forum presentations on our web site, with links from the agenda page.
- If you prefer your presentation not be published, please let the organizers know.
- We will publish whatever format you supply to us — PDF if you supply it, otherwise PPT or other native formats. Feel free to give us PPT for presentation (tends to work a little better) and PDF for publication.
