    In-Person Oral Presentation Guidelines:

    Individuals giving their presentation in person in Spokane will prepare a slide deck as well as a recorded version of their presentation that will be available on-demand to all AFS 2022 participants. The recorded version is a critical component for the virtual attendees to have access to all the science content. Please review the following instructions for preparing your talk. As a reminder, talks should be 15 min in length.

    Slide decks (PPTx files only) must be uploaded no later than 4 hours before the start of you session via the speaker portal. A link to the speaker portal was sent in late July (check your spam folder, too). They should be prepared in wide format (16:9). Updates can also be made using this link from any computer. We will also have a limited number of computers available in the speaker preview room. It is always a good idea to bring a flash drive with a back up of your presentation files.

    Video files are due no later than August 17, 2022. You will need to upload an MP4 video file of your talk via the speaker portal, which arrived in your inbox (check your spam folder, too) in late July. There are multiple options for preparing video recordings of your talk, here are a few:
