Considerations As You Prepare
Accessibility
Regardless of session type, please prepare your presentation with accessibility in mind; for instance, bring a transcript of prepared remarks (to aid transcription and interpretive services), create materials in accessible formats (e.g., html), ensure text and images are large and easy-to-read from a distance, and include captioning for audio and video materials.

Room Set-Up
All Sessions will take place in the Oregon Convention Center. Session rooms will be equipped with:
- microphone
- LCD projector
- screen
- sound capabilities
Presenters are responsible for supplying their one laptop for device, as well as their own dongle to connect to the LCD.
Considerations by Session Type
Roundtable Sessions
Please keep in mind that speakers should limit their remarks to approximately 5 minutes to allow ample time for audience participation.
Individual Proposals Accepted As Constructed Panels
Please limit your total speaking time to 15 minutes per proposal to enable all panelists sufficient speaking time as well as to allow time for audience interaction.
Concurrent Sessions
Please plan to include at least 30 minutes of audience interaction or participation.
Cultivate Sessions
Please prepare your presentation with audience engagement in mind; the goal of the new Cultivate sessions is to provide a participatory space in which members can develop their capacity in particular areas.
Poster Sessions
Please design your printed poster with a viewing audience in mind, considering content and design choices that will make information clear, easy-to-follow, and accessible to viewers/readers without additional commentary. You will have a scheduled time to present your poster to any poster session attendees, but your poster will be on display during the entire Convention.
Workshops
Workshop enrollment is typically capped at 50; all attendees must register and pay workshop registration fees in advance to be admitted. Because participation in preconvention workshops requires preregistration and additional fees, workshops should be designed in ways that maximize audience engagement and interaction and offer clear and tangible take-aways for attendees.
