Instructions for Presenters
The Desert Skies Symposium has used the following presentation format for several years, and we will continue with this format for the 2019 event.
Sessions are 90 minutes long and include up to five to eight papers.
Each 90-minute session begin with one-minute lightening talks by each of the presenters to the entire group.The lightening talks are overviews to help attendees select breakout sessions. Abstracts will be available online, which also aids attendees in selecting sessions.
Presenters then go to one of the five to eight presentation tables/spaces, where authors present seated at a table to six to ten attendees.
Three break-out times of 25 minutes follow the lightening talks.
In break-out sessions, individuals present and discuss their research with a smaller group seated at the presenter's table. Typically, presenters do not read entire papers; rather, this is a more informal presentation of your research in a format of your choice, with the aim of engaging discussion and questions from those who have selected your session. Some presenters choose to use slides and/or audio/video clips using laptop computers. Others chose to provide handouts or an outline. Neither is required. Additional ideas are welcome. The idea is to engage in conversation about your research.
After about 25 minutes, groups rotate, and presenters repeat to a new small group, then another rotation occurs. In other words, you will present/discuss your research three times, each time to/with a different small group of attendees, during the same 90-minute session.
