Presentations
Categories
Please see our list of presentation suggestions. This list is offered
to stimulate ideas and should not be considered the only topics that will be entertained.
Presentation
sessions
Presentations should be approximately one hour in duration, including introduction
and question and answer. Sessions are scheduled throughout the two days of the conference,
from 08:30 am until 05:30 pm. See the Presentation Schedule for details.
Some
Tips...
Bring a copy of your presentation on floppy disk, and a CD copy of all the software
you need to make your presentation. This will allow you to install everything onto
someone else's laptop. Email the presentation materials to Warpstock for inclusion
in a private area of the web site, as an additional backup.
Make printouts of your presentation, and then make photocopies of that printout
for the attendees. Not only will the photocopies act as a backup in case the projector
doesn't work, but the attendees will appreciate them as a reference during and after
the session.
Presentation
Facilities
Warpstock has four conference rooms setup with theatre style seating, and a PA system
available in each room. Each room will have a riser with a table and podium up front.
Data projectors with screens will have a VGA extension cord that will allow the
presenter to plug in his computer and control the equipment from the front of the
room.
Clarification
on submitting papers
We don't need an extensive document, just a brief description of what
you want to present.
As a guideline, a one hour presentation generally contains 1500 to 2000 words. If
you wish to submit an accompanying paper for our proceedings document it can be
up to about 5000 words. But you don't need to submit 1500 to 5000 words in order
to be considered for a presentation slot.
A one hour presentation generally means about 50 minutes of content and 10 minutes
of preliminaries and closing. If you have a longer presentation in mind, say 1.5
hours, we would want to structure it as 10 minutes of preliminaries, 45 minutes
of content, 15 minute break, another 45 minutes of content, and 5 minutes of closing.
So it would neatly fit into two one hour slots.
Don't be shy. Conferences like Warpstock consistently report that the best received
and most valued presentations are from people who know what they're talking about.
If you have something to say, you'll do fine.
This is your conference. Your participation is what will make it a success. Thank
you for your contributions.
