Presentation Preparation Guidelines
All .MP4 presentations must be uploaded by Midnight Eastern Time on Thursday, January 13.
Presenters are asked to use the meeting .ppt template to create presentations. The program organizers would like you to include video of yourself when you do your recording.
- All presentations for the meeting need to be created as a “Narrated PowerPoint or Keynote Presentation” outputted as an MP4 video file. Instructions on creating the file are included here.
- IMPORTANT: Plan your presentation to strictly adhere to the time allotted.If you have any questions on content as you prepare your presentation, please discuss directly with the moderator of your session. It is important to stay within the time allocated to your presentation and to include 5 minutes for Q&A. (If you have been allocated 30 minutes total, your recorded presentation time should be 25 minutes.)
- AAPM will provide a dropbox upload site that is available to all speakers/presenters for pre-submission of the video and .pdf files. Moderators will not create content but will have access to the upload site and be able to download and review files for their session(s). You will receive a separate email from AAPM containing the link to the upload site and instructions on using the site.
- For this year’s event we will be using Zoom video conferencing technology and broadcasting it directly into the Cvent platform for both viewing and individual interaction. Presenters and Moderators will need to participate using their local web cam and computer audio. Each participant is requested to download and review this document to prepare for their participation.
