SOT 2007 Annual Meeting

Arrive at least 45 minutes prior to the beginning of your session to load your PowerPoint presentation and introduce yourself to the chairperson. Be sure to check your Program for the location of the Speaker Ready Room made available to presenters.
The electronic projection equipment available in each room will include a Pentium IV PC (3.2GH) equipped with Windows 2000 and PowerPoint 2000. Please bring your Power Point presentation to the meeting on a USB Memory Device, CD or ZIP disk (in that order of preference). If you are bringing your presentation on a CD, it is also strongly recommended you completely and permanently "close" the CD with the option that it cannot be written to again, to ensure a higher degree of compatibility with CD drives other than that on which it was created. It is highly recommended if you are a Macintosh user to test your presentation on a PC to verify it converts to WINDOWS format accurately. Resolution will be set for 1024x768 with 24 bit color. A VGA 4-way switcher will also be available which will allow four lap top computers to be connected to the data projector. For PC users, VGA cables will be supplied. MAC users will need to bring a cable for a 15 pin VGA switcher. Should there be a change in the available equipment, all chairs and speakers will be notified.
Schedule. No scheduling change can be made. You have been allotted a total of approximately 18-20 minutes, including discussion for your presentation. The chairperson has been instructed to require all speakers to adhere to this limit: fifteen minutes for the presentation, five minutes for discussion.
Should circumstances prevent you from making your presentation, you must arrange for a substitute to present your paper and you must notify your session chairperson as well as SOT Headquarters.
