Information for Talk Presenters

You will be asked to prepare a 12-minute presentation with additional 3 minutes for Questions and transition. You have the option to use your own computer or upload your presentation slides using a filename that indicates your name and day of presentation (e.g. Schlining_Tuesday.ppt). If you do choose to use your own computer, you need to arrive at the conference center between 0800 and 0900 on the day of your presentation to test it. Instructions for uploading your presentation file will be shared with workshop registrants over email.

Information for Poster Presenters

You will be asked to prepare a 3-minute lightning presentation (no more than 3 slides; individual Questions and Answers will take place at your poster) and a printed 36x48 inch poster on the day of your poster session. Given the rapid format of lightning talks, you will need to upload your presentation slides by October 4th with a filename that indicates your name and day of presentation (e.g. Schlining_Wednesday.key). Your poster can only be displayed the day of your poster session. Instructions for uploading your presentation file will be shared with workshop registrants over email.

Workshop Excursions

To complement your workshop experience, we're planning up to four optional excursions, including cycling, kayaking/paddling, hiking, and wine tasting. We're also actively pursuing opportunities to secure discounted tickets or, ideally, a behind-the-scenes tour of the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium. Additionally, a tour of MBARI (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) is a possibility. We'll share more details and registration options for these excursions directly with workshop registrants via email.
