Oral Presenters
Presentations should be created in a format compatible with PowerPoint (.pptx) with an aspect ratio of 16:9. All meeting room computers are PCs, so a presenters who creates a presentation using a Mac should test the file on a PC prior to the meeting.
Your file should be named with your presentation number (to be listed in the online program by early March) and last name. For example: 123_Hodgson. Presenters can upload files in two ways:
- Upload online before the meeting. Navigate to https://esancb.sites.iastate.edu/ to upload your file. The deadline to submit files online is April 16 at 5:00 PM (Central Time).
- USB thumb drive at the meeting. Presenters are expected to upload their file no less than two hours prior to the beginning of their scheduled session. Presenters who fail to upload more than two hours prior to their session may upload in the session room as long as it does not impact the timing of any other presentations. Computers for presentation uploads will be available in the Des Moines Exhibit Hall during the following times:
Sunday, April 19, 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Monday, April 20, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Tuesday, April 21, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Wednesday, April 22, 7:30 AM – 11:00 AM (uploads will be located in the Foyer near registration on Wednesday)
