The Education Committee is here to support presenters. On this page, you’ll find information and tips for presenters. Additional information will be added as we get closer to the conference. Please let us know if you need anything for your presentation.

Program Schedule and Descriptions

Program presenters: You've reviewed your program descriptions and the schedule already. It's not a bad idea as you are putting the final touches on your presentation you might want to ensure you are covering what you promised. (It is past the deadline to make changes to the program, so if you discover a mismatch, you might want to alter the program or let attendees know about the change in your session introduction.)   

Rooms

Room assignments can be found in the print program and the schedule online. The print program will also contain maps of locations. We encourage you to check your room ahead of time and test AV if you have sound. Those presenting the first sessions on Saturday morning at the law school are encouraged to arrive by 8:30 to check their set-up and, if necessary, get assistance.

Session Liaisons

Poster Set-Up Details

Posters will be displayed at the hotel. We cannot affix anything to the walls. You will have an easel and a 30 x 40 inch foam board available for your use. When you register, indicate you have a poster, and you will be directed to the area where you can set it up. Pins will be provided, but if you want a different adhesive, you need to bring it yourself. During the actual poster session, the easels will be spread out into additional space to facilitate conversation. Although the sessions will move to the law school Friday at lunch, you will have until Friday at 4 p.m. to pick up your poster (without the foam board).
