1.  Prepare your presentation as a single file to run on PowerPoint
    on an IBM compatible machine with MS Office 2000.  We will not
    accept any other formats.

2.  Name the file with the last name of the first author and the
    day and time of the presentation (e.g. stouffer_thu_2:30)

3.  Bring your presentation on a cd-rom (preferred) or a Zip100.
    Do not bring your own laptop or a Zip250.

4.  Copy your file onto the desktop of the computer that is assigned
    to the room where you will be giving your presentation. Computers
    will be available daily from 08:00 to 17:00 beginning on Tuesday,
    either in the rooms where sessions will be held or in the av
    room (Cypress).  Do not wait until the break right before your session.

5.  Make sure your file runs.  If not, get help in the av room.

6.  Remember that your presentation time is limited to 15 min.  You will
    not be allowed to extend your time if you have technical problems
    during your talk.

7.  If you will need to play audio or video, please notify us as soon
    as possible before the meeting so we can make sure you are assigned
    to a room where that will be possible.

8.  Improve your presentation by following the suggestions offered by D. E.
    Kroodsma and B. E. Byers (Suggestions for slides at scientific meetings,
    Auk 117:831-835, 2000).
 
 
 

Speakers should deliver their slides or PowerPoint presentations on a Zip 100 or CD-ROM (preferred) to the projectionist at least 15 min before start of their session (we are not accepting any other e-formats than PowerPoint).  Do not bring your own laptop or a Zip 250.  Copy your file onto the desktop of the computer that is assigned to the room where you will be giving your presentation.  Name the file with the last name of the first author and the day and time of the presentation (e.g. stouffer_thu_2:30).   Preview and troubleshooting will be available daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Tuesday-Saturday (24-28 Sep) in the audiovisual room (Cypress).  Although it is a good idea to check your presentation in Cypress, in most cases you should be able to load and check your presentation during any break in the room where you will be presenting.  Remember that your presentation time is limited to 15 minutes, which includes any time that you may lose to technical problems during your talk!
