Instructions for Presenters
PLANNING YOUR PRESENTATION
Each speaker will have 15 minutes for his or her presentation. There will be no exceptions to this rule. It is recommended that your presentation last approximately 12 minutes, so that there will be ample time for questions afterward. Your Section Chair or moderator will give you a signal as the end of your 12 minutes approaches. Please plan on being present when the session in which you are going to speak begins.
Your Section Chair may have additional instructions for speakers.
