Presenter Responsibilities

Presenters should check the following:

  • You should make sure that your presentation slides and your presentation are accessible. You can check out the WAI Accessible Event resources. 
  • At the conference, you should make yourself known to the Session Chair during the coffee break, lunch, or Breakfast before your presentation, upload your slides to the presentation computer (unless using a laptop), and test your presentation and your laptop (if in use). 
  • You should conform to the allowed time frame for each type of presentation and ensure you follow the allocated times.
  • You should follow the instructions of the Session Chair and stop when told to do so. Be clear and confident, and remember that not everyone at the conference will be a native English speaker.
  • Remember that your primary aim is to make the audience understand you, so that they will appreciate the value of your work, cite it in their papers, and thereby increase its dissemination within the scientific community.
