Talks
If you present your research as a talk, you will have fifteen minutes to discuss your work and five minutes to answer questions. You may bring slides, overhead transparencies, and/or a PowerPoint presentation; specify your audio/visual needs when you register.
Exhibits
The format of the exhibits is up to the presenter; you may choose a traditional poster format, where you are provided with a 3' x 4' posterboard to which you attach visual descriptions of your work. You may also bring a videotape of your work (short video projects, theatrical performances, and ethnographic films are examples) and we can provide a TV/VCR in the place of a posterboard. You can also request a 3' x 5' table to present your work. When you submit your exhibit abstract, be sure to specify which format you are using so we may make the appropriate accommodations.
