Presentations

Presentations will be approximately 20 minutes including a short question time - please reserve a couple of minutes for questions. The final timetable of presentations will be posted on the web by February 15^th. In order to assure a smooth transition from one presentation to the next, the presentation format has changed from previous years. All authors/presenters must read the following carefully:

All presenters must email or upload to the CHI website, their PowerPoint presentation. In years past, we have asked presenters to bring their presentation on a memory stick and before each session, CHI staff downloads the presentations onto a CHI computer and arranges them for the upcoming session. This year, we hope to make the program flow more smoothly by receiving all presentations ahead of time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Presentations will be projected in 32 bit color, WXGA (1024x768) format. Please bring a back up of your presentation in electronic Microsoft PowerPoint format on a memory stick.

For your presentation, please:

1. Check the conference timetable at Conference Program page in the week before the conference, and note your Session number.

2. **NEW**Email your complete PowerPoint presentation to barb@chiwater.com by Wednesday February 15^th.

3. Bring backup copy of your presentation, in Microsoft Powerpoint, on a memory stick*.

5. If you are bringing your final full paper with you, please have that on the memory stick also;

6. Before your presentation session, please introduce yourself to Bill James, who will be in the meeting room and wearing a "boater" hat for easy identification, letting him know you've arrived.

7. Presentations will be allotted either 15 or 20 minutes according to your particular arrangement with Bill James.
