Your Session

Session Timing and Notes

All sessions are scheduled for 1 hour. Below is a guideline for your session, but feel free to change up the flow if needed.

• • 15 minutes prior to session:  Find your session room and start setting up; prepare and test technology with MISBO staff
  • First 2-3 minutes:  Volunteer will wait for any stragglers to join the room, then they will introduce you
  • 50-55 minutes:  Your presentation
  • 5-10 minutes:  Discussion and Q&A

Download any videos for your presentation ahead of time, rather than using the internet. It is best not to rely on internet during your presentation.

Powerpoint Template

Please use this branded template for your slides.

Submit Your Presentation Slides 

Submit your slides and any handouts here. Please submit your slides at least 3 days prior to your presentation. We need this as a backup in case your technology decides not to work! And slides will be shared with attendees after the event.

Promotional Toolkit

Resources to help spread the word for a successful conference! Includes suggested social media posts, event graphics, etc.
