Presentations Information

Merci de votre patience. Nous travaillons sur cette page du site.

Short Paper Presentations (in-person or online)

If your acceptance indicates "Online Short-Paper Presentation - 5 slides" or "In-person Short-Paper Presentation - 5 slides," please note the following details:

Each 90-minute session will typically feature 5 to 8 papers, with each presenter allotted approximately 8-10 minutes for their presentation, followed by a few minutes for general questions.

There may be one or two discussants for the entire session. While they may not have the time to read all the papers in advance, they may pose a question or offer brief comments based on the presentations.

Presentations are limited to a maximum of five slides, including the title slide (which should include your name, co-authors, affiliations, etc.) and a final slide summarizing your key conclusions. Presenters should focus on highlighting the most important aspects of their work during their presentation.

Regular Paper Sessions General Information (in-person or online)

If your acceptance indicates "Oral Online" Presentation or "Oral In-person" Presentation, please review the following details:

For a typical regular paper session, there will be 3-4 papers scheduled during a 90-minute block. This allows each presenter 16-20 minutes for their paper, with the remaining time allocated for discussant comments and audience questions.

Once your paper has been accepted, please ensure that you send an electronic version to your discussant (if assigned), the session chair, and other session participants as soon as possible. Papers should be distributed no later than 2-3 weeks prior to the conference. If your paper has not been received by the session chair at least 7 calendar days before the conference, the conference organizers reserve the right to revoke your acceptance and cancel your presentation. Papers must be submitted in PDF format. If you need the contact information of other presenters in your session, please reach out to cea.conference@gmail.com.

Presentations can be delivered in either English or French. However, Francophone authors who feel comfortable presenting in English are encouraged to do so, as many conference participants, especially those from the US and overseas, may not understand spoken French.

Technical Details

  • Presenters will be required to load their presentations onto the computer provided in the session room. Please bring your presentation on a USB drive, or another device that ensures you can easily access your files. It is recommended that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your session to ensure there are no issues with uploading your presentation. As a backup, you can email your presentation/slides to the session chair in advance.

  • Please be mindful of the allotted time for your presentation. Staying within your time limit is crucial to maintaining the schedule and being respectful to the other presenters. Session chairs have the authority to cut off speakers who exceed their time.

  • If the session chair is unable to attend, the presenter of the last paper in the session will assume the role of chair.

Presentation Setup

Session rooms will be equipped for computer-assisted presentations, with PowerPoint or PDF options available. To ensure everything runs smoothly, please follow these guidelines:
  • Send a copy of your presentation to the session chair at least one week before the conference so they can load it onto their memory key if needed.
  • Arrive at the session room at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time.
  • Bring your presentation on a USB memory key, in addition to having sent it to the session chair. Unless otherwise specified, personal laptops will not be allowed to connect directly to the university's presentation system.
  • Wireless presentation 'clickers' may not be available, so if you prefer to use one, please bring your own.

The conference organizers will provide support volunteers to assist with any technical issues, but presenters are encouraged to test their presentations beforehand to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Panel Sessions

A panel session will be 90 minutes in length. The session will typically consist of three or more panelists organized around a particular theme. The panel title will indicate the subject/topic area however no abstracts or individual papers will be included. Panelists will be listed with their name and affiliation only. 

Poster Sessions

Poster Boards

Posters will be on Easels attached to 3 feet x 4 feet. Portrait or landscape orientation is allowed. Students are responsible for printing out their own posters. 

Content

We recommend designing your poster to be self-explanatory, allowing you to focus on discussing key points and addressing specific questions rather than answering obvious ones. Consider whether a casual observer could quickly grasp your major findings with just a brief look at your poster. For a more engaged viewer, will the material provide enough context to prompt informed questions? As you create your poster, ask yourself: "What information would I need if I were seeing this for the first time?"

Clarity

Indicate the ordering of your material with numbers, letters, or arrows. Place your major points in the poster and save the non-essential sidelights for an informal discussion.

Layout

Use large font and bold text so that your poster is easy to read. A typical poster for an experimental project should have the following:

  • A clear statement of the research question
  • A short description of the design, in bullet points
  • A few screenshots from your experiments
  • A statement of your hypotheses
  • A few figures showing your main results (and tables if necessary) 
  • A short summary of the findings, in bullet points
