FAQ for Presenters
Q: If my talk is scheduled to take place in a virtual room, can I still attend the conference in person?
A: Absolutely! You will need to register at the in-person presenter rate, however. You will be located in the Hybrid Room, which will allow both face to face and online participants to engage with you. You will have the opportunity to present and discuss your research with those who will enter your online space as well as those who will sit in the room.
Q: What registration fee do I pay?/ I’m only presenting virtually and don’t plan to attend the rest of the conference- do I still have to pay?
A: We hope that you are coming to learn as well as present! All presenters will need to register. If you are coming virtually, you need to pay only the virtual price of $120, which gives you access to the whole schedule of the conference- only virtually. If you are coming in person, you need to pay the Presenter price of $200, which will include a lunch and networking opportunities. Registration needs to be paid by October 1st, 2023.
Q: I was accepted as a presenter. Do I need to bring technology?
A: No. If you are scheduled in a room, there will be a computer there and a projector. You will need to bring either a flash drive or access the cloud.
If you are scheduled as a Roundtable presenter, there will be no technology or screen available. You are welcome to share with your table on your own screen, but handouts might be more useful to share with your group.
Q: Do I need to bring handouts?
A: This is up to you. We recommend that you either make hard copies, or provide a QR code for participants to download the handouts on their phones. If you are bringing hard copies, plan for 10-15 handouts if you have a roundtable and 30-40 if you have a room.
Q: It looks like I have 40 minutes to present: should I structure my presentation as 30 minutes of content and 10 minutes for questions?
A: That is up to you! Roundtables are designed to be engaging and conversational, while presentations are slightly more formal. We are hoping that participants get a chance to interact with each other and share strategies and ideas. Plan for engaged audiences!
Q: Do I need to submit my slides?
A: No. You can choose to share what you want with your audience, but you are to either use a flashdrive or access the internet to share your material.
Q: Will this be recorded? Will the hybrid sessions be recorded?
A: No. Several people have asked that we NOT record this. For our first conference, we have decided not to record, but to value the interaction.
Q: Can I bring information about my program/ conference/ school?
A: Absolutely! This is an excellent opportunity to share information! If you bring flyers, we will have a place to display them. If you want to place an advertisement in our program, please provide camera-ready artwork to c.hugheslynch@csuohio.edu by September 30th. 1/4 page is $50, ½ page is $100 and a full-page ad is $250.
