When are my presenter materials due?

All presenter materials are due by 11:59pm PT on Monday, May 8, 2023.

How do I submit my presenter materials?

The primary presenter will receive an email with details on how to submit the presentation materials. Sometimes this email is sent to the Spam folder, so please check there if you have not received an email before the submission deadline.

Important File Naming Convention:
Please use the following name convention for your files:

  • Use all lowercase letters
  • Use hyphens (-) instead of spaces
  • Begin with a session code (this is listed in the email you received)
  • Use the first five words of your session title as your file name

Example: If your presentation is happening in Concurrent Session 1, and the title is "Exploring Best Practices in DEI" your file would be named:
ccs1-exploring-best-practices-in-dei.pptx

What do I need to know about slides?

  • Use a 16:9 Aspect Ratio
  • Powerpoint or Keynote files ONLY (No PDF, Canva, Prezi, etc.)
  • Any special fonts MUST be included

What dimension should my poster be?
