This year, 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.

SPEAKER'S GUIDE 
PowerPoint files are the only acceptable visual aide this year at DAC. DAC will provide a PC with Windows, PowerPoint 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.

Please go to Talk Prep, Slide Prep, Poster Prep, and At DAC to help prepare yourself and your presentation for DAC. These are your ultimate Speaker's guidelines, and will house all the information you need to successfully present at DAC.

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.

At DAC:
1). You must set up your Poster by:
Tuesday, June 7 (no later than 10:30am)
Wednesday, June 8 (no later than 9:30am)
Thursday, June 9 (no later than 8:30am)

The poster board will be labeled with your session and paper number (1.1, 1.2) in the hallways by the technical session rooms.  DAC will provide thumbtacks to set up your display.

 

2). After your session concludes, please proceed to your poster board in order to be available for answers to any questions.  This presentation time is 30 minutes.

 

3). Please remove your display at 6:30pm on the day of your presentation.  If you do not remove your display, the pages or poster will be discarded.
