Speaker Instructions

The 13NCEE will have both Technical Sessions and Special Sessions, each with different formats. Your session type is listed in your presentation details email and on each session in the online program here. Please refer to the correct section below for your speaker instructions.

Technical Session Speakers

For all 13NCEE Technical Sessions, each speaker will have 12 minutes to deliver their presentation, plus 2 minutes to answer one question from the audience. Time limits will be enforced. In the case when a paper presentation is canceled in your session, moderators will allow more time for Q&A following all presentations. When preparing your presentation:

• Ensure your slides are for a widescreen projection (16:9 aspect ratio). Click here to learn how to change your slide size. You will need to upload a PowerPoint version of your presentation.
• Make sure to include your contact information and Paper ID # on your slides so attendees can find your paper and contact you if they have questions about your work.
• Refer to the Required Onsite Presentation Upload section below on when and where to upload your final slides.

Presentation Timekeeping

The moderator and assistant moderator will assist with presentation timekeeping. They will be using colored time cards. For Oral presentations, you will have the following warnings:

• At 5 minutes remaining, the moderator will raise a green “5 Minutes” time card.
• At 1 minute remaining, the moderator will raise a yellow “1 Minute” time card.
• When your time is up, the moderator will raise a red “Time’s Up” time card.
