Presentation Guidelines

Talk Guidelines

Talks will be 5, 10, or 15 minutes long, including time for questions and switching presenters. You can select your preference on the registration page, though the Organizing Committee will make the final allocation during the agenda creaion process. We have a full meeting so please be mindful of your time and courteous to the next presenter. A discussion period concludes each session where further questions can be addressed.
All presentation files will be loaded on one central laptop to expedite the transition between presenters. We request you provide us with your presentation the day prior to your assigned time. Dinner time is a good time for this.
Powerpoint or PDF files are preferred. Keynote is available.
After the conference, presentations will be posted with the agenda on the WAIS Workshop site. If you prefer we don’t publish your presentation, e-mail the Organizing Committee at: wais@mines.edu.
For 2021, all talks will be livestreamed for those that cannot attend the conference. If you have concerns about livestreaming your talk, please contact the WAIS Workshop Organizing Committee. These livestreams will be recorded and archived on our website.

Preceding the in-person poster session will be a brief opportunity for poster presenters to give a one-slide/one-minute pitch about their research.
Virtual posters will be given a 5 minute time slot to give a short lightning talk on Day 1 of the workshop. These five minutes are your time to use however you wish! Feel free to be creative with your presentation. On Day 2, while the in-person poster session is happening, we will keep the conference Zoom room open and hosted for further discussion of virtual lightning talks. Breakout rooms will be available for quieter conversation.
For space efficiency, posters cannot exceed 4 feet in height or width.
