The User Track has become a full-fledged DAC track: each day of the technical program will feature three full User Track sessions and a User Track poster-only session. Each User Track session will consist of four to six 12-minute slide presentations followed by a 30-minute dedicated poster session for the abstracts from that session. Thanks to this new feature, attendees will be able to pose questions about the works that have been presented.
POSTER PRESENTATION:
Following your presentation, you will also participate in a 30-minute poster presentation. Please see
Poster Prep for the specific guidelines and requirements on how to prepare your poster.
SPEAKER'S GUIDE
PowerPoint, LaTex, and LibreOffice files are the only acceptable visual aide this year at DAC. DAC will provide a PC with Windows, OpenOffice, LibreOffice and an LCD projector. Appropriate connections for both PC and Mac laptop computers will be available. Due to compatibility issues, using your own computer for your presentation is NOT recommended. Therefore, you MUST bring a back-up copy of your presentation on a USB drive or CD-ROM.
The following are links to instruction guidelines in an effort to assist presenters in their preparation for conference:

VISAS
U.S. Embassies have been experiencing longer delays in the issuance of visas. Due to the increased security measures in the United States, an updated visa might be required. Thus, it is recommended that you check to be sure your visa will allow entry to the United States. More information regarding travel visas can be found here.
