Platform Presenter Information

 

You will have a 25-minute time slot for your presentation. There will be time for questions from the audience during the 5 minutes immediately following your talk. Meeting rooms will be equipped with a laptop computer and computer projector, a slide projector and an overhead projector, as well as a lavaliere microphone and a stationary microphone at the podium.  We strongly recommend that you prepare your visuals in Power Point.  If you are using Power Point, please bring a back up of your visual aids as overheads or slides.  Please refer to the Platform Presenter Guidelines.

 

Platform presenters will receive a complimentary one-day registration for the day of your talk or if you wish to attend the entire conference, your registration cost will be roughly half-price, $275. You will be responsible for paying for your meals and any evening workshops you choose to attend, as well as arranging and paying for your own travel and lodging. Please remember to register yourself no later than September 28, 2007.  Even if there is no financial transaction involved, you must register so we can plan accordingly.  You can register on line.

 

We will be holding a speaker/moderator breakfast the day of your talk.  It will be held on the 10th floor of the Campus Center from 7:15 - 8:15am. It’s a very good opportunity for all presenters in the session to meet each other and the moderator.  We strongly encourage all speakers to attend, as many specific details concerning your session will be discussed.

We will have a speaker preparation room for your use. It will be equipped with a laptop and computer projector, an overhead projector and a slide projector, as well as several empty slide carousels for your use in advance of your presentation. Check at the registration desk for its location.

We will need the following from you by August 1, 2007.

·         Submit a one-paragraph biography, no CVs please, for the moderator of your session to use to introduce you.     

·     We encourage you to submit a manuscript for publication in the conference proceedings Contaminated Soils, Vol 13.  This year we are developing an on line submission process.  In addition, for the first time, we will be conducting a peer review of the manuscripts.  More information will be posted about the on line submission process as soon as the site is available.   Manuscripts are due September 17, 2007.  The proceedings will be published mid-2008.  Please refer to the Manuscript Guidelines
