Things to do and know before your presentation:

  • Instructions for Poster Presentations HERE.
  • Be sure to activate your SCHED account prior to the conference.
  • To increase your visibility, you can set your privacy settings as an attendee to Public.
  • If you would like your presentation handouts or other resources to be available on-line for conference attendees to access, you can post them with your session using the speaker tools in the SCHED platform.  Here’s a link to information on how to post your handouts:  Speaker Tools – Upload Files

  • Familiarize yourself with the following:
    • presentation room and technology details HERE.

Things to do the day of the conference:

  • Please note, WAESOL does not reimburse presenters for expenses.
  • Since we cannot predict the number of participants at your session, our system of providing handouts online can help you plan and limit the number of printed copies.  Room sizes accommodate 20 to 30 attendees.
  • The SCHED platform allows attendees to submit basic evaluation of sessions.  If you would like to get deeper feedback from those who attend, please provide your own evaluation and take a few moments at the end of your session for people to complete it and return it to you or post it with your session using the speaker tools.

Room and technology details can be found here.
