Submission Requirements for Poster & Paper Presentations |
|
Presentation Formats
Professional Paper Presentations are individual oral presentations, usually reporting empirical research or concerned with conceptual, historical, or methodological issues. Presentations are typically 50 to 75 minutes in duration. The Program Committee may organize several presentations into a symposium of 75 minutes or ask that the presentation be made in poster format during the poster session. You can indicate your interest in these alternate methods on your Paper Submission Form. When the committee decides an alternate presentation method is appropriate they will inform the presenter(s) involved in the acceptance letter.
Student Paper Presentations are individual oral presentations reserved for students only. Student paper addresses usually report empirical research or are concerned with conceptual, historical, or methodological issues. All addresses should be 15-20 minutes in duration. The Program Committee will organize paper addresses into sessions of 50 to 75 minutes.
Poster Presentations (Professional and Student) consist of physical displays of information, usually reporting empirical research. All posters should be arranged in the poster session room at least 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the session. Each poster must have at least one presenter and the presenter(s) must remain with their poster throughout the poster session. Posters need to be removed within 30 minutes after the poster session ends or they will be discarded. Posters should fit 4’ x 4’ poster boards, be freestanding and be of a professional quality.
Workshops* are intensive educational sessions presented by an individual or group. The audience is expected to gain skills or knowledge that they can apply in their work. This is typically accomplished through active audience participation and, when feasible, skill practice. Workshop presenters must provide appropriate handouts to reduce note-taking requirements, and encourage application of workshop content. The workshop presenter(s) must also indicate the level of skill required for audience members to benefit from the workshop (i.e., introductory, intermediate, advanced). Workshops are either 3 hours or 6 hours in duration.
*If you are interested in presenting a Workshop, please contact Ruth Hurst by e-mail at hurstr@uncw.edu.
