Ignite-style lightning talks follow a standard format that encourages short, engaging presentations that focus on the key points of the research. Each talk consists of 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds, for a total of five minutes.

Ignite talks are allocated 7 minutes

  • 5 minutes for the talk; 2 minutes for questions
  • You are limited to no more than 20 slides, and they must be set to auto-advance every 15 seconds.
  • Be sure to practice your talk to ensure that you stay within the time limit and can manage the slide transitions.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

  • Poster dimensions are 36" x 45" LANDSCAPE.
  • Presenters are responsible for creating and printing their own posters.
  • Foam board, tacks, and easels will be available in the poster location.
  • Unless otherwise noted, posters may be set up as early as Thursday evening.
  • You must take down your poster by the end of the meeting on Saturday.
  • Please remove the tacks, collapse the easel, and place both in the designated collection areas.

Recommendations:
Keep content simple and provide a clear message in text that is large enough to read from a distance. Further details can be provided in discussions with attendees or via a handout that also includes your contact information.
