All in-person oral session presenters must check in at the on-site Speaker Ready Room at least 24 hours before their presentation, even if they have uploaded their presentation slides. If you cannot check in at the Speaker Ready Room 24 hours before your session, that is okay. Please go to the Speaker Ready Room as early as possible before the start of your session. Checking in at the Speaker Ready Room is the most important step you will take to ensure your presentation is a success. 

What to do in the speaker ready room

When reviewing your slides in the Speaker Ready Room, make sure all fonts appear as expected and all audio/video clips are working properly. You may edit your presentation slides at this time if needed. When you have finished reviewing your slides, the audiovisual staff will queue them for use in the oral session room.

We recommend that you bring at least two additional digital copies of your presentation slides to the meeting in case there is an issue with your uploaded file. If you are unable to visit the Speaker Ready Room 24 hours before your session, please go to the Speaker Ready Room as early as possible before the start of your session.
